Wet weather is back & bigger changes around Halloween

The next wave of moisture continues to move northeast and I guess when you think about how saturated the ground still is, we should consider ourselves lucky that we aren't going to get what Texas is about to see. Willa is going to squeeze out most of the moisture in the southern Plains before it begins to push toward the eastern US.

Latest forecast amounts for rain look like this:

Consider this a wind alert! Behind a cold front that actually moves through Saturday night, wind gusts will top 40 mph in many areas. It's going to be VERY windy on Sunday and many fall leaves will go flying around.

Another rain chance is showing up closer to Halloween. The pattern looks to energize and turn active as we approach the beginning of November. Couple of things to note here. We see a large buckle developing around Wednesday (Oct 31st), which will allow for colder air to start moving back south. At the same time, it will be running into just enough moisture to bring us a chance for some showers on Halloween. The timing is expected to change as we get closer to Halloween, but some showers are possible during trick-or-treat time. None of this rain for Halloween is expected to be snow, but temperatures will be cooling down significantly as we head into early November.
