What's the Halloween Forecast? Not So Great

You might want to start thinking about integrating a raincoat and galoshes into your child’s Halloween costume.

The Chicago-area forecast isn’t looking so promising for Halloween. Granted, there’s time for it to improve. But as of Tuesday night, the National Weather Service based in Romeoville was calling for a 109 percent chance of rain during the day, falling to 60 percent at night. Daytime temperatures could get as high as 65 degrees, then fall to the mid-40s at night. Sunset on Halloween is at 5:46 p.m.

Trick-or-treating hours in Joliet are 3:30 to 6 p.m.
