Some Hope For Halloween

With Halloween just a few days away...I will not bore you with a blog about NASA's new rocket. (Although I will admit to "nerding out" over it's launch). I know what most folks are concerned about and it's not a rocket...but the Halloween forecast. Halloween is supposed to be a scary night but nobody likes a frightening forecast. Well that's what we were faced with earlier this week and the kids were not happy with Mother Nature. Well I am happy to say there is hope for Saturday night. That system expected to bring wet and windy weather may arrive a little earlier than expected which means an earlier departure. Checking the latest GFS run it looks like we could see some clearing by the time the "Trick or Treaters" hit the pavement. When I say clearing I mean a break from the rain. I've highlighted that possible break from the rain on the GFS image seen above and there is a chance that after the frontal passage we could dry up just in time for the kids. Now this is only a forecast model so please take this with a grain of salt. In short...hope for a rainy Friday so that Saturday is alright for the kiddies.
