The nation’s two soggiest spots on Halloween — Monday, October 31 — will likely be in parts of the East Coast and the Northwest, AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Walker told USA TODAY.
“Much of the rest of the country looks pretty quiet,” Walker added.
As for chilly temperatures, the good news is that there does not appear to be a big intrusion of cold air on the horizon for the majority of the U.S., according to Weather.com.
Overall, it looks pretty mild, Walker told USA TODAY.
Weather in the Eastern US on Halloween
Some scattered showers are possible in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes on Monday evening. Weather.com said. But a total washout is not currently in the forecast, AccuWeather said.
AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada said that “spells of rain are predicted in some of the country’s largest cities (of the Northeast), but a repeat of the monster snowstorm of 2011 or the Halloween ice storm of 1991 is not expected.”
Weather in the Central US on Halloween
Much better trick-or-treating weather is predicted for folks across the nation’s heartland, AccuWeather said, with widespread dry and mild conditions forecast through the weekend and into Monday.
“Precipitation of any type is forecast to be nonexistent at this time from the Mississippi Valley and Plains to the western Gulf Coast,” Weather.com said. “The lone exception may be in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where at least a few showers are possible.”

Weather in the West US on Halloween
The Northwest will likely be the nation’s stormiest spot this Halloween, forecasters said.
A parade of storms will continue to drench the Pacific Northwest in the coming days, AccuWeather’s Lada said, soaking many outdoor Halloween festivities throughout the weekend and into Monday.
Walker said that much of Washington, Oregon and Idaho — along with western Wyoming and Montana — will bear the brunt of the inclement weather on Halloween.
However, the Southwest looks pretty dry for Halloween, Walker told USA TODAY. Mild temperatures and dry conditions are in the forecast for the Southwest, Weather.com added.
