Nature Gives Us More Of A Trick This Halloween

Well, bloggers. I'm sad to report that it is looking to be a nasty weather day this Halloween. Pretty  much the worst kind of weather you could ask for to try and Trick - or - Treat in. I hate being the barrier of bad news. But if you're in the Rochester area, then the weather will be a problem.

Take a look at the forecast below.

That's right. Heavy rain, and high winds is our forecast. I guess nature decided on a trick more so than a treat this year. The rain isn't fun to be out in however it's the wind that I'm more concerned about. Here's your forecast break down below.

Truly a mess of a forecast and I honestly wish I had better news. It is the windy rainy season for sure. Currently the hope is that these high winds won't really take off until after the trick or treaters are back home safe and sound.

With this wind we're bracing for the worst. You never know in Rochester what the wind will do. There is the possibility for power outages across the area as we have one of the oldest power grids. So keep that in mind. Nature is definitely setting the stage for a spooky Halloween.

On the bright side, If you don't plan on going out, then this forecast is perfect for staying home and watching some Halloween movies.

Thank you all for reading. I'll check back again soon.
