Shower chances will decrease Friday night into Saturday as the low weakens and moves inland. Saturday and Sunday look partly cloudy and mainly dry. Trick or Treating time will be cool for the kids, but it will be dry.
Monday and Tuesday could bring some morning fog with partly sunny afternoons and warmer high temperatures, in the mid to upper 50s.
