Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

This "Halloweekend" is going to be gloomy, but mainly dry. But no guarantees we will be dry for Halloween itself on Monday.

Expect plenty of clouds with only a few peeks of sunshine on Saturday. It will be breezy and cool, with high temperatures in the low-to-mid 60s.

But I know the big question on your mind is about rain on Halloween. An area of low pressure moving across Texas tonight will pick up moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and spread it north in our direction.

And there is a chance for showers during the late afternoon and evening — prime, trick-or-treating time. The timing is still a question mark, but we are thinking that the bulk of the rain will be moving in late Monday and into Tuesday.

We will start off Halloween with some spooky fog and once that burns off we should warm up into the upper 60s in the lower 70s.

Temperatures will be similar on Tuesday before a cold front moves through.

Behind that cold front temperatures will not drop drastically. In fact, we may be a degree or two warmer than normal for the first week of November.

Expect high temperatures in the mid to upper 60s.
