The biggest question mark lies in the approaching upper-level trough, which is currently pushing out of the central Rockies toward southern Canada. This system, if it intensifies, could bring light rain to some areas in time for Thursday night and Halloween festivities. However, the latest model data suggests that the rain is slowing down, with precipitation likely limited to only a few hundredths of an inch in most places. Ensemble forecasts agree that significant rainfall is unlikely across the southeastern region, making for an overall dry evening.
The eastern and southeastern sections of the area might see a few passing sprinkles, with the Oneida area standing out as a possible rain spot, expecting up to half an inch of rain at most. While the current forecast looks encouraging, a rain plan might still be wise for Thursday night.
Halloween Night Outlook
- Temperature: Mild, above average for late October
- Precipitation: Light rain possible, especially in southeastern areas
