This year’s Halloween festival looks likely to be dampened by wet and stormy weather in the eastern part of the U.S., while the first snowfall of the season could hit the Midwest. Further west, however, the National Weather Service (NWS) said that wildfire conditions look set to remain in California until the weekend.
The NWS forecast that warmer, wetter weather will prevail on Thursday afternoon and evening, putting something of a dampener on trick-or-treating. Over one inch of rain can be expected on Thursday in parts of Pennsylvania. The bigger cities in the northeast look set to escape the worst of the rain, though Thursday will remain wet and dreary through the day and into the evening.
