SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE:

Halloween is less than a week away and the forecast is coming into view! So what should you expect on All Hallows Eve?

First things first - the week ahead will be a wild ride. Plan for the 50s on Saturday and Sunday. However, the chill does not last too long! The numbers start to climb by next week's work week. Mid to even upper 70s look possible again this week! For perspective, average high temperatures in late October are in the upper 50s. That means temperatures will be about 15 degrees above average next week! Then big changes look to arrive on Halloween.

There is a system approaching the area on Thursday/Halloween. This will bring the return of rain. It also features a cold front and will cause a noticeable drop in temperatures. That means the timing of that front is critical for when rain arrives and when temperatures fall.

Keep in mind we will be making updates to the forecast all week - but this will give you an ahead of what to expect.

As of Saturday morning, I have the warm temperatures continuing on Halloween. I currently have an early high temperature for the day in the upper 60s to low 70s but falling throughout the day as the cold front slides through. With the sped-up timing of the front, it also looks like rain is arriving earlier as well, which could lead to a drier forecast by trick or treating. By November 1, temperatures will drop into the low 60s or even upper 50s. Be sure to check back for more updates from the entire Power of 5 Weather team all week long!
