Halloween Weather In PA: Rainy Week Gives Way To Sun

PHILADELPHIA, PA — A rainy week will give way to weekend sun, just in time for the Halloween holiday, according to the current forecast.

If your children plan on trick-or-treating, the forecast is calling for sunny skies and temperates in the mid-50s in the Philadelphia region on Saturday, according to the The National Weather Service. But those clear skies will come with days of rain leading up to the weekend.

Rain is in the forecast on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Of course, Halloween will be a bit different this year due to the pandemic. Most parades and events are canceled, and not all children will venture outside to trick-or-treat. Read Patch's survey on how many parents plan to allow their kids to participate in Halloween traditions.
