Overview
- An unseasonably warm Friday gives way to a broad cold front that will lower temperatures across much of the country for Saturday and Halloween evening.
- Forecast models and local offices expect showers or rounds of rain to move in Friday night into Saturday with timing and coverage that will vary by region.
- Most local forecasts currently show peak trick-or-treat hours will be dry or only lightly impacted, though a few areas may see rain earlier or during evening activities.
- Forecasters are monitoring a stronger cold front for Monday night into Tuesday that could bring a line of strong to severe storms in parts of Texas and nearby areas if timing and strength verify.
- A Pacific low and atmospheric‑river signal will produce lower‑elevation rain and mountain snow in western high country this weekend into early next week, and Daylight Saving Time ends early Sunday.
