424: Will October Finally Feel Like Fall? Weather Forecast Update with Gary Lezak

Gary Lezak is back on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast to break down the changing weather pattern and answer the question producers are asking: is fall finally coming, or are we in for more summer weather? Gary explains how the LRC is transitioning into a new pattern, why October and November are critical months to watch, and what the developing pattern could mean for the next 300 days of weather. Gary also looks at the immediate forecast, including rain across parts of the Plains and Midwest, potential early frost in the Northern Plains, and how producers can use longer range weather information to make more confident decisions.Links:Weather 20/20 Dashboard Discount⁠ - https://www.weather2020.com/partner/cattle-usaSubstack - https://weather2020.substack.com/The Global Predictor App ⁠- ⁠https://www.weather2020.com/global-predictor-mobile-appYoutube⁠ -https://www.youtube.com/@Weather2020Follow Gary on X ⁠- https://x.com/glezak CattleUSA Insurance - https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5m⁠CattleUSA Website - https://www.cattleusa.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/Subscribe to our newsletter - https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/cattleusa-drive-premium-daily-newsletter?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&brid=YWdncwFNXt0EmdzFy5cJJBp84J9gCattleUSA Media - https://www.cattleusamedia.com/Lauren’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_laurenmoylan/Lauren’s Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ShowboatmediacoThe Next Generation Podcast Website - https://www.thenextgenag.com/Key Takeaways:The LRC is transitioning into a new weather pattern as fall beginsOctober and November can provide important clues about the pattern for the months aheadThe new LRC pattern typically begins developing in early October and becomes more established into NovemberProducers should watch for storm systems and precipitation as the new pattern takes shapeParts of the Plains and Midwest could see significant rain in the immediate forecastAn early October frost is possible across parts of the Northern PlainsEl Niño could influence the winter pattern, but its impact depends on how the LRC developsWeather extremes like drought and excessive rain can both create challenges for agricultureLong-range weather information can help producers plan inputs, supplies and field operationsThe next several weeks will provide more clues about the weather pattern heading into the next yearChapters:02:52 – The LRC Is Changing03:39 – What Is the LRC?05:00 – Planning 300 Days Ahead06:30 – When the New Pattern Begins07:30 – Why October & November Matter09:00 – El Niño & the Winter Outlook10:27 – What the Next Year Could Look Like11:23 – The Immediate 10-Day Forecast12:30 – Rain, Harvest & Early Frost14:40 – Is Fall Finally Coming?15:05 – What to Watch NextGary Lezak, Weather 2020, Cattle USA Daily, weather forecast, fall weather, October weather, October forecast, fall weather outlook, winter weather outlook, LRC, Lezak Recurring Cycle, long-range weather, 300-day weather forecast, agriculture weather, cattle weather, ranch weather, farmer weather, drought outlook, rainfall forecast, Plains weather, Midwest weather, Kansas weather, Nebraska weather, Colorado weather, Oklahoma weather, Texas weather, El Niño, Super El Niño, harvest weather, frost forecast, agricultural planning, cattle producers, farmers and ranchers
