Raleigh is getting a cooler Halloween, but not a washout: temperatures will start in the low 50s and climb to about 67 degrees under partly sunny skies. Northeast breezes of 6 to 9 mph may add a little bite, especially early and after sunset.
According to the National Weather Service, rain is essentially off the table Saturday, with no measurable rain expected. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Raleigh area, leaving trick-or-treaters and outdoor planners with a mostly cooperative forecast.
Cooler After Sunset
Saturday night will turn mostly cloudy, with temperatures falling to around 47 degrees and northeast winds near 5 mph. Sunday brings increasing cloudiness, with a high near 68.
Warmth Returns Next Week
The workweek starts mild, with a high near 71 on Monday and around 76 on Tuesday. Wednesday could reach 78 degrees, with a good chance of measurable rain sometime Wednesday into Friday, though timing remains uncertain.
The timing and amounts remain highly uncertain. Until then, Raleigh gets a dry Halloween weekend followed by several unusually warm afternoons for early November.
