Will the forecast be a trick or a treat? Well, it won't be as sweet as a bag of candy - but overall fair conditions are expected for the kids as they head out for trick or treating tomorrow evening. Monday morning will start out under variable cloudiness with a few isolated showers and wake-up temperature near 4°C. It will remain mainly cloudy for the day as a system moves into the lower great lakes. It is not very organized and the moisture it brings with it will be scattered. Expect on and off showers through the late morning continuing into the afternoon. Again not a soaking rain or a continuous event. The high will be a mild 12°C. The wind will be light from the NE and the uv index 2 or low. Your Halloween forecast is below.
