And here's some great news for all the ghosts, goblins and trick-or-treaters! Right now, the Halloween forecast is looking anything but scary. Saturday is shaping up to be another beautiful fall day, with sunshine, a few passing clouds and afternoon temperatures in the 60s. As the sun goes down and trick-or-treating gets underway, temperatures will gradually fall into the 50s.

One more important reminder as we head into the weekend: Daylight saving time comes to an end early Sunday morning, Nov. 1. Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour at 2 a.m., giving everyone an extra hour of sleep after a busy Halloween night. While we'll enjoy a little more daylight in the morning, the trade-off is an earlier sunset Sunday evening, with the sun setting around 4:49 p.m. across Long Island. That means less daylight for those late-afternoon walks, outdoor sports and yard projects. Overall, we're looking at a beautiful final week of October, with plenty of sunshine, a brief cooldown Tuesday and a nice warming trend heading into Halloween weekend. Enjoy the fall colors, take advantage of the dry weather and make the most of these beautiful autumn days!
