Strong low pressure tracked northwest of Maine from the night of the 28th through the 29th. The low drew a cold front across the region during the afternoon of the 29th. A strong low level jet crossed the region in advance of the front through the morning hours of the 29th. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph...with gusts of around 55 to 65 mph...occurred along coastal portions of Washington and Hancock counties. A peak wind gust of 66 mph was reported near Lubec in coastal Washington county. The strong winds toppled trees and power lines.

The Cole Creek Wildfire spread rapidly in windy, dry, and warm conditions on Sunday, October 11. The fire carried quickly through grassy fuels and caused the evacuation of several neighborhoods in the vicinity of Coal Creek Road northeast of Casper. No human lives were lost, but the wildfire did eventually consume numerous homes, outbuildings, vehicles, pets, and livestock.
The fire began around 1720MST on Saturday, October 10, in a wood chip pile at the Casper Regional Landfill north of Casper. On Sunday, gusty southwest wind steadily increased through the morning hours. Sustained wind of 30 to 40 mph and gusts of 45 to 50 mph were recorded by 0800MST at nearby Casper-Natrona County International Airport. These speeds continued through the day before decreasing after 1500MST. Other nearby mesonet stations measured wind gusts of 58 mph to 65 mph during the morning. The strong wind enabled the fire to spread beyond the boundary of the landfill and move quickly to the northeast. Evacuation orders were issued for the Cole Creek Road, Geary Dome, and Meadow Acres areas by 1300MST Sunday. A total of 190 homes were threatened by the flames. By that evening, ten homes were believed to have been destroyed. At the fire's peak, there were 150 firefighters on-scene.
The fire continued on Monday, October 12, as southwest wind again increased by 0800MST. Although less than Sunday, sustained wind of 20 to 25 mph with gusts around 30 mph enabled the fire to continue its trek northeast. Another two homes were destroyed as the fire had two distinct blow-ups, one around 0900MST and another around 1300MST. In all, close to 10,000 acres had been consumed by Monday evening and approximately 1,350 people displaced.
An evacuation order remained in-place until 1600MST Tuesday, October 13, when residents were allowed to return home. Hot spots were addressed on Wednesday before the fire was declared 100% contained on Friday, October 16. The fire cut a large swath south to Edness K. Wilkins State Park and the North Platte River and to the north through small rural ranches.

The California drought continues in full force during the month of September, 2015. Temperatures continued to average above normal. Fresno received 0.49 inch of rainfall while Bakersfield only received 0.14 of precipitation during the month of October.
The U.S. Drought Monitor continued to report exceptional drought conditions across the entire Central California region. This extent of exceptional drought is extremely unusual for California. The general trend of below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures has continued this year.
There continues to be significant media coverage on the on-going drought conditions. These reports include discussion of significant re-allocation of water resources from the east to west side of the San Joaquin Valley, farmers forgoing planting of some crops, a decrease in the snow-related tourism activity in the Southern Sierra Nevada, reduction in air quality due to persistent stagnant air, loss or reduction of ground water, wells drying up in several communities leaving them with no water, and an unprecedented increase in fire danger across the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains. Also, communities in Central California interior face state mandated reductions in municipal water use.
