US Halloween Weather: Mostly Clear Skies Expected, Some Showers in Northwest and Northeast
Imagine Halloween night, and most kids across the country will have nice, clear skies for trick-or-treating.
It will be a bit chilly in some places, especially in the East.
However, if you live in the Pacific Northwest (like Washington or Oregon) or parts of the Northeast, you might need an umbrella because of rain.
Some areas in the Midwest could also get a little wet.
But don't worry, the rain isn't expected to be too bad or last too long.
In the western part of the country, it will be warmer than usual, with some places even getting record-breaking heat!
Most of the United States is expected to have dry weather with mild winds for Halloween trick-or-treating.
Parts of the Pacific Northwest, Northeast, and Upper Midwest could experience light rain or drizzle.
The Northeast may see showers and breezy conditions due to a low-pressure system, with a low flood threat but potential for urban runoff.
The Pacific Northwest is forecast to receive heavy rainfall from an atmospheric river on Friday into early Saturday.
Above-average temperatures are expected across the West and High Plains, with the possibility of record highs.
