"A total washout is not currently expected; however, if the disturbance responsible for the showers strengthens, it could lead to heavier rain that could force some towns to postpone or cancel Halloween festivities," AccuWeather said.
Game 3 of the World Series, the first Phillies home game in the series, is slated for 8:03 p.m. Monday night, so a rain delay of the game is a possibility depending on the severity of the storm.
