Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, and the clocks fall back that night. Expect mostly sunny skies on Saturday with a high near 55 and a low near 41, then partly cloudy skies on Sunday with a high near 57. Clocks go back at 2:00 AM on Sunday, so you get an extra hour Saturday night, then a 6:19 AM sunrise and a 4:44 PM sunset on Sunday. Here is where we would spend it.
