Chicago Area Braces For Light Rain And 67 Degree High On Halloween

The National Weather Service forecasters expect occasional light rain to fall during trick-or-treating hours on Saturday. The agency stated on its Facebook page that outdoor activities are unlikely to be significantly affected by the precipitation. Shower coverage will peak in the morning hours, and heavy downpours are not expected.

Temperatures will remain mild for the holiday. A high of 67 degrees is projected for Saturday. After sunset, values will drop to the 50s or hover around 60 degrees. The weather service noted that these conditions stand in contrast to the exceptionally quiet and dry weather that dominated most of October.

Residents must adjust their clocks as Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday. The time zone will fall back one hour. This timing coincides with the start of November, which brings a shift in the weather pattern. The atmosphere will become more unsettled compared to the previous month.

Rain chances persist into Sunday, marking the beginning of the new month. Seasonably mild temperatures will continue, with a high of 69 degrees recorded on Sunday. Monday will see a high of 70 degrees. An afternoon shower chance is present on Monday, with the highest probability for areas near Interstate 39 and to the west. Rain chances remain active through Monday night.
