So tonight on the 5'Oclock news Kent talked about how we can get just about any type of weather on Halloween. Many of you may remember 1993 with a trace of snow. Sure it wasn't a snow storm, but snow on Halloween? And then there's been years when Halloween has been in the 80s, even close to 90! The record high is 88 in 1968.

Here's some other interesting stats for Halloween:
Coldest High= 41 (1993)
Coldest Low= 26 (1878)
Warmest High= 88 (1968)
Warmest Low= 66 (1876)
Average High= 61
Average Low= 42
Rainiest= 2.91" (1946)
Snow= Trace (1993)
(Thanks to the National Weather Service St. Louis office for digging up these stats)

This year, it's not too hot, not too cold, but just right. We will have a high of 69, but a front is coming in and temps will fall to the upper 50s by trick or treat time (6pm-7pm). This cold front is going to make it breezy with winds shifting Northwest at 10-20 mph for the late afternoon and evening. Some low clouds will accompany this frontal passage too, so expect it to cloud up by the evening. As for rain, this front is not expected to cause much more than a few sprinkles.

When you consider the Halloween's we've had in the past...that's not too shabby.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
