HALLOWEEN FORECAST

Looking at the forecast for the week, it appears that the rest of the week might be wet. You'll still have Tuesday and Tuesday evening to finish raking up your leaves before the rain sets in on Wednesday morning.  We might even see some thunderstorms before 10 in the morning according to weather.gov.

Wednesday evening, the temperatures are going to drop to 33 degrees. That means Thursday's rain may be a mix of rain and snow showers. Highs on Thursday are only supposed to reach about 43 degrees. There will also be some winds gusting up to 25 miles per hour.

SNOW

Halloween will be a chilly one. Thursday night there is still a 20 percent chance for rain showers; and with the low dropping to 24, could cause a rain/snow mix and some slippery conditions out there.

After this little preview of winter, we should be warming up a bit for the weekend, with sunshine expected on Friday and a high of 50 degrees. Winds will be dying down by the weekend as well.

Saturday will be a mix of rain and sunshine but temps will be warming up to 57, and Sunday will be pretty close to the same with a high reaching 54.

Remember to watch the temperatures as our nice days shift to a rainy, snowy mix. Driving conditions can be affected by those freezing temperatures.
