Will It Rain On Halloween? Early Forecasts Released In AL

Forecasters have revealed early weather predictions for the Halloween weekend in the U.S., including in Alabama.

Early weather forecasts show slightly favorable conditions as All Hallows Eve nears this weekend in Alabama.

Ghosts, witches and other costumed trick-or-treaters on Saturday will take to the Alabama streets collecting candy and Halloween knick-knacks for the annual celebrated holiday.

Though AccuWeather reported pleasant and comfortable weather in Alabama and other parts of the Southeast, the National Weather Service on Monday said the weather could play a trick and pour in a few raindrops.

Residents who plan on traveling should be mindful that AccuWeather warned of coastal flooding and showers this week from Florida to the Carolinas.

This could change for the better as Halloween approaches, but AccuWeather stated above-normal tides and showers remain possible for southeastern Florida.
