DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 3)
As the region recovers from a powerful autumn storm that caused 1 to 4 inches of rain and significant wind damage as well as numerous power outages, we enter a more tranquil pattern as October ends and November begins. Behind the storm came some moderate and gusty winds from the west today which will still continue to blow tonight but gradually diminish during Tuesday, so that be Halloween Night all is fair and tranquil, and because high pressure moves overhead the first of November on Wednesday will start fair and frosty in many areas. A few changes follow, with a warm front bringing a slight chance of light rain Thursday and a cold front bringing a risk of a shower Friday
