The end of October has brought a near perfect week of fall weather across Alabama. But there could be some rain that sneaks up on trick-or-treat plans this weekend.

With Halloween falling on a Saturday this weekend, you can expect to see people out and about in their costumes Friday and Saturday so be careful on the roads and have those candy bowls ready to go.

As always, make sure to stay weather aware throughout the weekend. Keep an eye on updated forecasts from your local National Weather Service pages + your local meteorologists.

Keep reading to see what both nights look like across the state so you can make a plan before heading out the door.

Rain could be a damper on the actual day of Halloween, especially for trick-or-treat plans in the evening.

The entire state is likely to see some much-needed rain this weekend but there could be spots throughout the night to still get to some houses without getting soaked.

Temperatures will mostly stay in the 60s even after the sun goes down with some areas touching the upper 50s. The “feels like” temperatures will often be a couple of degrees higher than the real temperatures.
