Frosty Halloween, Sunny Days Into Election Week

Halloween in Brookfield starts cold. Areas of frost are expected before 9 a.m. Saturday, then the day turns sunny with a high near 55 degrees, easing to around 53 in the afternoon. Northwest winds stay light, 3 to 9 mph, and there is no rain in the forecast.

Saturday night turns colder still. Widespread frost is expected after 11 p.m., with a low around 30 degrees and a light northwest wind. If your Halloween plans run late, a warm layer is worth bringing along.

Sunday brings the same pattern with a little more warmth. Widespread frost before 9 a.m. gives way to sunshine and a high near 60, easing to around 55 in the afternoon. West winds run 1 to 5 mph. Sunday night is mostly clear with a low around 37.

The other change Sunday is the clocks. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 1, so clocks fall back one hour and the week ahead runs on standard time. The extra hour of sleep comes with earlier sunsets.

Monday stays pleasant, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 65, easing to around 60 in the afternoon. Southwest winds run 1 to 5 mph, and the chance of rain is about 1 percent. Monday night is partly cloudy with a low around 42.

Election Day itself looks just as agreeable. Tuesday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 67, with a southwest wind of 0 to 5 mph and about a 1 percent chance of rain. For voters heading to the polls, it should be an easy day to get out.

Looking further ahead, Wednesday stays partly sunny near 68, and rain chances rise later in the week, with showers possible Thursday and Friday.
