AccuWeather.com Forecasts Mostly Favorable for Fiendish Halloween Festivities

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 27, 2007 – AccuWeather.com predicts quiet weather for most of the country on Halloween Wednesday, welcome news for trick-or-treaters and party-goers alike.

According to AccuWeather.com meteorologists, a cold front may bring some storms and gusty winds to the Great Lakes and Northern Plains Wednesday. These conditions may require some last-minute adjustments to ensure costumes are secure and keep trick-or-treaters warm, but should not completely dampen holiday plans.

"(To plan your costume) know where you are going and if you are going to be indoors or outdoors," Maggie Johnson, AccuWeather.com meteorologist said in her Fashion Weather forecast. "Some places throughout the US will be getting very chilly at night due to dry air under high pressure. For an outdoor get-together, if you’re choosing a lighter costume, make sure to take along your long heavy coat."

Areas south of the cold front will have better luck with warmer than normal temperatures for most of the U.S.  However, Florida may see unsettled weather with some clouds and showers.  Below are predicted highs temperatures for cities across the country.
