The forecast calls for the steadiest rain during Saturday morning, followed by scattered showers in the afternoon and only a "ghost of a chance" for thunder near the Illinois border.
Morning Showers Expected
By Saturday evening, the showers are expected to taper off, leaving mostly dry conditions for trick‑or‑treaters, though a few lingering sprinkles may persist.
Sunday looks drier, with highs climbing into the mid‑60s, but the unsettled pattern returns early next week, bringing showers Monday afternoon and additional rain and thunderstorm chances Tuesday and Wednesday.
Evening Dryness for Trick‑or‑Treaters
