7-Day Forecast — Oct. 25–31

☀️ Sunday — 78° / 50° Mostly sunny. Chronicle Forecast: A beautiful Sunday in Spa City. Enjoy it before somebody finds a reason to complain about the weather.

🌤️ Monday — 78° / 50° Mostly sunny. Chronicle Forecast: Perfect weather for wearing a jacket at 8 AM, taking it off at 10 AM, and carrying it around for the rest of the day.

⛅ Tuesday — 77° / 50° Partly sunny. Chronicle Forecast: Clouds will make a brief appearance just to remind everyone they’re still employed.

☀️ Wednesday — 81° / 51° Sunny. Chronicle Forecast: Summer has apparently discovered the emergency exit and is refusing to leave Arkansas.

☀️ Thursday — 82° / 51° Mostly sunny.

Chronicle Forecast: Warm, sunny and potentially dangerous to anyone who has already decorated their house for fall.

🌤️ Friday — 79° / 52° Partly sunny.

Chronicle Forecast: Halloween preparations continue under skies that appear to have absolutely no respect for spooky season.

🌧️ Saturday — 75° / ~60° Cloudy with a chance of showers. Chronicle Forecast: HALLOWEEN WEATHER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. A chance of showers could put a damper on trick-or-treating—or simply give every kid an excuse to demand a second piece of candy.

The Saturday Halloween forecast is still beyond the NWS’s standard seven-day window, so the 75°/60° and shower possibility are based on longer-range forecasts and should be treated as preliminary.

🐐 THE CHRONICLE’S WEEKLY WEATHER RATING:

8.5/10 — Mostly beautiful with a 100% chance of somebody saying, “It ain’t supposed to be this warm for Halloween.”
