There's good news on the Weather Network horizon for Prince George's spookiest night of the year.

No snow.

No rain.

It's probably going to be a bit chilly but local residents got it covered with kiddies' costumes built to go over winter gear.

"Halloween isn't looking too bad," said Brad Rousseau, Weather Network meteorologist. "You're kind of in between systems. There's a disturbance and a low off to the north east across the northern prairies and there will be a low off the Pacific and there's a weak ridge of high pressure in between the two and it looks like that should be just strong enough to keep you guys dry for Halloween. You might even get some pokes of clear sky as well."

As always, once the sun goes down it will be colder, he added.

It could go down to two degrees or even towards the freezing mark.

"You guys are pretty hearty folk out there - that's shorts and T-shirt weather, right?" laughed Rousseau.

As far as the fall goes, September saw typical seasonal weather.

"As you trended into October you chilled off a bit so it was just slightly below seasonal," said Rousseau. Precipitation was below seasonal as well.

"As you head into November it looks like you guys should remain at or a smidgeon above normal," he added. Normal for November is about one degree for daytime high.

"Hopefully that pans out for you," said Rousseau. "Precipitation wise it should pretty much be on par with normal, maybe slightly below for November."

It looks like winter could see temperatures above seasonal and the same goes for precipitation.

Average snowfall for the whole winter in the Prince George region is 130 cm and average rainfall is 27.5 mm, he added.
