Rain Chances Rise For Halloween Weekend as Pattern Shifts From Midweek Warmth

A plume of tropical moisture from Tropical Storm Vance and approaching Pacific lows could push showers late Saturday into Sunday, increasing overnight rain odds across parts of the Southwest and Texas.

Overview

  • Forecasters say a warm, dry midweek with highs in the 60s–70s will give way to a more active pattern late in the week.
  • Most models and local teams now show the greatest chance for measurable rain arriving late Saturday night into Sunday morning.
  • The Southwest and parts of Texas have the highest overnight rain odds because of Tropical Storm Vance’s moisture and Pacific low pressure, while many Northeast and Midwest areas still expect a largely dry Halloween daytime.
  • Most forecasts call for generally light totals of a few tenths of an inch, but some coastal and valley pockets in Southern California and West Texas could see locally heavier amounts.
  • Forecast confidence is limited and timing remains uncertain, so local meteorologists urge viewers to check hour‑by‑hour updates and note that Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend.
