Warm, dry weather holds through Thursday, with highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s north of the lake and 60s on the Southshore. A few coastal showers are possible Friday before rain chances peak Saturday.
Halloween could bring localized heavy downpours and a few thunderstorms, potentially affecting trick-or-treating. The Weather Prediction Center has outlined a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall, with isolated street flooding possible. Severe weather risk looks low.
Don’t cancel plans just yet! We’re still four days out, and the timing and location of the rain should become clearer as the week progresses. We need the rain—but hopefully it waits until after the candy collecting!
Rain chances decrease Sunday. Another system could bring showers and storms Tuesday into Wednesday, so we’ll keep an eye on that one, too.
