Chicago weather: A few showers could impact trick-or-treaters on Saturday

Good Monday evening. I'm Chief Meteorologist Emily Walls. We had a pretty decent day today, but we had some cloud cover across the region. We'll have to get used to that again tomorrow. But temperatures this entire week will be staying well above normal. Your averages for this time of the year have overnight low temperatures in the low 40s, high temperatures during the day in the upper 50s. And today a lot of us were well into the 60s for your high temperatures. We even had a few spots tagging the low 70s well south of I-80. But here's something that we have to talk about for this week because of course it is is the week of Halloween and we're going to be talking about rain chances being a possibility late this week and then certainly into this upcoming weekend so here's a look at the next five days around here we'll have dry skies Tuesday and Wednesday there's actually going to be a few showers that may actually move across the region tomorrow but we have a fairly dry air mass in place so anything that ends up showing up on the radar I really would be surprised if those raindrops make it down to the surface so I'm keeping rain out of the forecast for your Tuesday same thing on Wednesday Thursday we have a better chance of seeing some scattered rain and then again Friday night and then moving into Saturday and Sunday we're going to carry the chance for scattered showers but it's not going to be a wash just make sure you're prepared for some passing showers as we get toward that trick-or-treating time late on Saturday now for tonight we have temperatures that are going to be dropping down to the mid 40s for most of the suburbs low 50s in the city areas of dense fog going to be possible tonight as well with skies becoming mostly clear to partly cloudy your five-day forecast tomorrow looks good we're going to be mostly cloudy temperatures warmer than normal upper 60s to near 70 degrees low 70s expected Wednesday and Thursday Thursday we have that chance of rain shower activity moving in and then again Friday night again during the day on Saturday but temperatures for Halloween looking really good averages in the upper 50s and we're actually counting on temperatures being in the upper 60s so we're coming in about 10 degrees above normal and i just want to throw this out here that Halloween, the date of Halloween, October 31st, that is actually our first average trace of snowfall here in the Chicago area. So the fact that we have temperatures that are going to be right around 70 degrees on Halloween is pretty good. We'll take it.
