Summarised from 2 outlets · 8 reports · Updated 30 Oct, 15:18 · Archive

Rain is expected to arrive over the Halloween weekend across the Midwest, with conditions turning cooler and cloudier.

A cold front moved through the region, bringing cooler air and ending a warm stretch. Temperatures that had reached the upper 70s and lower 80s earlier in the week have dropped to the 60s.

Halloween Saturday itself is expected to be cloudy and mild, with temperatures in the 60s. WIFR reports that widespread showers are expected from the morning hours until early afternoon on Saturday, with most clearing by late afternoon in time for trick-or-treating, though a few stray sprinkles cannot be ruled out. Kfvs12 reports that rain timing has shifted closer to Sunday, with trick-or-treating looking mostly dry through at least 8:30 PM, though showers may increase later in the evening south of the Ohio River after 9 PM.

Beyond the Halloween weekend, outlets expect unsettled weather to continue. A strong low-pressure system is forecast to bring another round of showers and possible thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday, with Kfvs12 noting that a few storms may be strong, though uncertainty remains high about the exact timing and intensity.
