SUMMARY: Good Tuesday morning! Justin Warn gives us a weather update, noting intermittent light rain today with a 20% chance continuing into tomorrow. Temperatures will reach about 86°F, with humidity and southeast winds gusting up to 30 mph. Tomorrow will see similar, hit-or-miss showers, but by Wednesday evening, a front will approach the Hill Country, potentially bringing isolated storms into San Antonio by Thursday morning—our best chance for rain. The Halloween forecast includes early rain chances, but conditions should improve for trick-or-treating, with temperatures in the 80s. Expect small rain chances through the weekend as well.

Slightly better odds of rain Thursday morning.

SUMMARY: As Halloween approaches, health professionals highlight key safety concerns for children. Dr. Michelle Ruda emphasizes that Halloween is notorious for child pedestrian injuries; it’s crucial for parents to be vigilant about traffic. She advises using battery-operated candles instead of real ones to prevent fire hazards and emphasizes the importance of monitoring food allergies, particularly with homemade treats. Parents should inspect candy before children consume it to avoid choking hazards, especially for toddlers. Limiting candy intake is vital to prevent mood swings and long-term health issues like obesity. Overall, staying aware and minimizing distractions is essential for a safe Halloween.
