According to the forecast by Environment Canada, YEG is looking pretty beautiful with no rain or flurries in the forecast for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday night.

Friday and Saturday night dips down to 4°C and 5°C respectively, which could be much worse for this time of year. We’ll take it!

As for the big day, trick-or-treaters should fare well, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 9°C and an overnight low of -5°C.

If the younger ones are out for extended periods a light jacket around their costume will likely suffice, but any of the hefty winter gear can wait in the closet for just a little longer. Happy Halloween!
