This Halloween won’t be sending a chill up your spine

‘ Dry and mild’ is the forecast for most

Witches and werewolves may roam your neighborhood streets Monday night, but nothing too spooky is forecast for this year’s Halloween.

Trick- or- treaters should see relatively clear skies and cool temperatures across the country during their hunt for candy, forecasters said.

“The dominating theme across the nation in most places will be dry and mild,” senior AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said Sunday.

One trouble area could be the Pacific Northwest down into Northern California, where showers are likely Monday evening.

A separate system from the Northern Plains pushing into Canada could bring wet weather for parts of North Dakota, Michigan and Minnesota.

But most of the country will miss Halloween showers and instead see some warm temperatures. Record highs are forecast for Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita and Montgomery, Ala., Pydynowski said.

“No need to worry about an extra layer of clothing on a costume,” she said.

In the Midwest, evening temperatures are expected to be in the 60s, but it will be windy. Strong gusts are forecast in the Rockies, she said.

“If you do have parts of costumes with extensions, make sure they’re secured. And hats could blow off, too,” she added.

The Mid- Atlantic should be relatively warm in the 50s, but the Northeast could be cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing Monday night, Pydynowski said.

Despite the generally calm and cool weather across the USA, she warned trick-or-treaters to wear reflective clothing and bring a flashlight.
