Overall, it'll be drier with calmer winds before a secondary storm arrives this weekend, bringing measurable rain to the county. Chilly nights and mornings with cool afternoons will be the trend through Friday. Afternoon highs will top out 5 to 10 degrees below average, with 60s and 70s for most of the county.
It will be creepy cool for trick-or-treaters this Halloween. At 6 p.m., temperatures will be near 60 inland to the coast, dipping into the mid-50s for the kids heading out later. Meanwhile, we'll be mostly in the 40s in the mountains and close to 70 in the deserts.
