My dear Rot, you don't really believe in long-range forecasts do you? Then you must also believe in that fat guy dressed in red who leaves presents for you at Christmas. With sophisticated radar, satellites, computer projections, etc., the weather guy or gal on your TV/monitor has no better idea than did the first humans millennia ago whether it'll be sunny or rain tomorrow. In point of fact, the latter probably made a better job of it because they knew Nature and its workings--they had to because it could kill them. So don't fret, at least not yet.
Fear not, Boo. I've long stated that as a man obsessed with weather this time of year that the forecast has literally NEVER been what it was supposed to have been even TWO days into the future. Halloweens over the years for our location has NEVER been what even the day BEFORE had forecast. Is there any other line of work/field which would tolerate such total failure?
I've been watching as the remnants of a typhoon has crept this far inland for the first time in my experience. There is no way to predict the weather with that sort of thing going on. Fingers crossed!

Already calling for rain, again, this year on the day. 50% chance.
Because of course.
Fear not, Boo.

I believe in Santa!
You should.
He believes in YOU.
Wait...that's Satan.
Never mind.

Yuck! Good luck.
I'll never forget the Hurricane of 2012...what a weird WEIRD Halloween
And the snowstorm. Got some cool little videos out of it, but pretty much had to take down the display due to falling tree limbs.
P.s.- Constantine is a great movie.
I'm praying for some cooler weather by Halloween. So far, it's still in the 90's here in Houston.SUCKS!
A nice cool rain shower two days ago. Now 90's. 100 tomorrow. Holy Halloween!
Accuweather is my friend. Both Saturday night party and Halloween night look clear, 50's.
All the others say rain. Whatta they know...amateurs.
We'll have 6' of snow.
