Halloween records and rain chances
The National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill office maintains October daily climate records dating to 1888; the listed normals are calculated using 1991–2020 data.
A precipitation probability is the chance that at least 0.01 inch will fall at a particular point during the specified forecast period, according to the National Weather Service. So a 40% chance describes the likelihood at a point over that period, not the expected rainfall amount.
