Forecast brightens for Halloween

A cold front that originally had been expected to ruin some trick-or-treaters' fun for Halloween on Saturday night is moving slower than expected.

So forecasters now think it could be late Saturday night before showers and thunderstorms arrive in the Charlotte metro region. And they promise unseasonably mild conditions during the day Saturday.

In fact, several days of temperatures at or above seasonal averages are promised for the area.

After some low clouds and fog Friday, partial sunshine is expected to return in the late morning hours, extending into the afternoon. Highs will approach 70 degrees, forecasters say.

Fans attending high school football games Friday night will experience very mild conditions.

On Saturday, any early fog or clouds are forecast to give way to partly sunny skies. High temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 70s, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that some places could hit 80 degrees in the afternoon.

By evening, clouds will increase. The showers and storms will arrive Saturday night, then sweep east of the region by Sunday morning. Partial sunshine is forecast to return Sunday afternoon, with highs in the upper 60s.
