Last year's thread about the rescheduling of trick-or-treat.

2013

Here was the forecast for the postponed Halloween day, issued on Oct 31, 2013:

Showers. High near 67. Breezy, with a south wind 13 to 18 mph increasing to 19 to 24 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

The 7:00 p.m., Oct 31, 2013 Toledo area airport weather conditions :

Express: Overcast, 60 F, wind S 14 mph - Gust 26 mph
Executive : Light Rain Fog/Mist, 60 F, wind S 18 mph - Gust 30 mph
Suburban: Overcast, 61 F, wind S 17 mph - Gust 25 mph

Earlier in the day on Oct 31, 2013, northwest Ohio was under a slight risk for severe weather for later in the evening.

Last year, some area communities decided on Oct 30 to postpone trick-or-treat. Toledo made the decision around mid-day on Oct 31. Toledo and most of the surrounding towns held trick-or-treat on Sun, Nov 3.

Toledo Express Airport weather for Sun, Nov 3, 2013:

Hi temp: 48 degrees at approx 3:00 p.m.
6:00 p.m. weather: clear, 40 degrees, East wind at 8 mph
7:00 p.m.: clear, 37 degrees, East wind at 5 mph
8:00 p.m.: clear, 37 degrees, East wind at 6 mph

2014

Forecast for Fri, Oct 31, 2014:

Friday: Showers likely, mainly after 9am. Cloudy, with a high near 46. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Friday Night: Showers likely before 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 29. Blustery. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Naturally, the low temp around 29 degrees will occur on Saturday morning. It does appear that temps will be in the 30s during trick-or-treat time on Friday evening with increasing wind speeds and a chance for rain.
