Forecast in detail We turn brighter today as the day goes on, but breezier too. We can't rule out a stray shower, but trick-or-treating time this evening looks dry with calming winds. We're eyeing the aurora that has the slightest chance of being visible tonight away from city lights (mainly well north and northwest of town), while the coastal flooding recedes from historic marks.
