Warm start to the weekend: When rain could impact trick-or-treaters

FRIDAY: After a crisp start, cloud cover gradually filters in through the afternoon. Unseasonable warmth dominates as afternoon temperatures climb into the low 80s. Outdoor festivities and Friday night football look completely dry from start to finish. Dew points tick upward overnight, keeping conditions mild with temperatures bottoming out only in the low-to-mid 60s.

SATURDAY: Overcast skies take over for the final day of October, though temperatures stay well above average in the mid-to-upper 70s. While daylight hours remain predominantly rain-free, rain chances ramp up around dusk. Trick-or-treating and evening outdoor events can go forward as planned, but make sure to pack rain gear alongside those costumes. Coverage expands overnight into a steady, widespread soaking by early Sunday.

LOOKING AHEAD: A wet start greets Sunday morning with widespread rain and embedded rumbles of thunder, gradually winding down from west to east by the afternoon as highs top out in the lower 70s. Monday offers a dry reprieve in the mid-70s before an energetic front arrives late Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing another round of showers and potentially strong storms. Once that boundary clears, genuine autumn air moves in by late next week—knocking afternoon highs back into the 60s and morning lows into the 40s.
