Recent National Weather Service climatological summaries indicate minimal or zero measurable precipitation across much of the contiguous United States on October 13, 2026, including major reporting stations in Washington DC, the Gulf Coast, Midwest, and Southwest. A notable exception occurred in northern New York and Vermont, where a slow-moving system delivered record daily rainfall totals exceeding 1.5 inches at sites like Plattsburgh, with localized amounts over 2 inches in the northern Champlain Valley and Adirondacks—driven by persistent moisture and orographic enhancement. NOAA and NWS data confirm these patterns through official gauge measurements, distinguishing confirmed observations from any model projections. Traders should monitor final NWS verification reports for precise station thresholds relevant to market resolution.
