As of Thursday, no major storm is forecast for Halloween on Saturday, but some areas may need rain gear, The Weather Channel reports. Forecasts can still change before the weekend.

High pressure should keep the Northeast dry, with mild weather for late October, The Weather Channel says. Kids may need a jacket after sunset, especially in New England.

In the South, showers and storms are possible Saturday evening, with the best chance near the lower Mississippi Valley, The Weather Channel reports. Some showers could reach parts of Oklahoma, Texas, the Tennessee Valley and Florida. The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center said Thursday that rain and storms will hit parts of Florida through Saturday.

The Midwest should be mild, with evening temperatures in the 50s or 60s in most areas, The Weather Channel says. Showers are possible from Missouri into the Ohio Valley. In Chicago, the weather service forecast calls for showers likely Saturday, with a 70% chance of rain and a high near 60. It gives a 40% chance of showers before 7 pm Saturday night. NBC Chicago meteorologist Iisha Scott said rain could last into trick-or-treat time but should be more scattered, then dry out later that night.

Parts of the West could be wet, including much of the Southwest and parts of California, The Weather Channel reports. Snow could fall in parts of the Rockies and the Sierra. The Weather Prediction Center has a slight risk, level 2 of 4, of excessive rainfall for parts of the Southwest and far southeast California from Saturday into Sunday morning. The Weather Channel says San Diego will likely see its first measurable Halloween rain in 39 years.
