For the majority of the Lower 48, Halloween is mild to warm as well as quiet. I say the majority because not all will enjoy a Halloween which could be mistaken for late summer. A system crossing the Great Lakes/Lower Midwest will provide shower activity while the main focus of weather will be over California where wind, rain and mountain snow sweeps in off the Pacific.

Here’s the GFS surface for Sunday afternoon. As you can see, the majority is fine and dry.

It’s a tale of two seasons between Northern Tier and Southern Tier.

Into Halloween itself, the California system is in full swing while the Great Lakes system is pushing through the Big Cities of the I-95. In between and it’s feeling like summer with more record heat.

A very mild Halloween evening for trick or treating across much of the country!
