KUSA — Looks like most areas will have dry weather (though there may be some snow on the ground) for trick-or-treating Wednesday evening.
Southern Colorado may just be wrapping the snow just a couple of hours before the ghouls begin to roam in search of snacks and sweets.
Here’s what we know: Today's storm ends during the middle of the afternoon in Southern Colorado. Layers, at the least, will be necessary for trick-or-treaters.
Temperature: As skies clear for the Front Range that means 40s during the day on Halloween and evening temperatures dropping into the mid 30s to low 40s.
Rain/snow: Rain and snow lasts into the afternoon in Southern Colorado after wrapping up very early in the morning over the Front Range.
