I find this tool to be very accurate. It gives probability of above or below average temperature and precipitation.

For deer season it looks like a slight chance of warmer than average temperature, and average precipitation.

Thanks for posting.

Here is an update. Potentially warmer than normal temps for the firearm season opener.

THE NOVEMBER TEMPERATURE OUTLOOK FAVORS ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MOST OF
THE FORECAST DOMAIN. THE ENSO SIGNAL AND LONG-TERM TRENDS TOGETHER PLACE THE
HIGHEST PROBABILITIES FOR ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN AND
SOUTH-CENTRAL U.S. EXTENDING NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST, GREAT
LAKES, AND NORTHEAST. LONG-TERM TRENDS ARE STRONG OVER ALASKA. EQUAL-CHANCES OF
BELOW-, ABOVE-, AND NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES IS INDICATED OVER A SMALL PORTION
OF INTERIOR ALASKA, THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, AND THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF
THE CONUS. THE CALIBRATED GUIDANCE FROM THE NMME, INITIALIZED EARLY THIS MONTH,
STRONGLY SUPPORTS THIS PATTERN. MORE RECENTLY INITIALIZED GUIDANCE FROM THE CFS
FAVORS A VERY WARM SOLUTION ACROSS MOST OF NORTH AMERICA.

Really bums me out. Was hoping for a cold fall and winter.

NOAA continues to call for a greater than 50% chance of above normal temperatures for the gun opener.
