MORE OF A TREAT THAN A TRICK!

We have some pretty great weather coming for Halloween -- allowing everyone to have their costumes on full display without heavy coats getting in the way.

Temperatures in the afternoon Monday will be running above normal by 5-7 degrees:

The average high temperature for Halloween is 56°. The warmest Halloween on record is 86° which happened in 1950. The coldest afternoon is 29° which happened in 1917.
