Will trick or treating get rained out in South Florida? It depends on where you live.
As you woke to flood advisories and drenching rain in parts of Broward and Miami-Dade Saturday morning some of you might wonder:
Can we go trick or treating tonight?
Does your costume come with an umbrella, like, say, perhaps the Penguin character from “Batman?”
We know it comes with masks, in part because of the surging COVID pandemic.
But rain and thunderstorms may be another impediment to Saturday night Halloween fun depending on what side of the county lines you fall.
Miami-Dade rain chances
The National Weather Service in Miami puts Saturday’s rain chances at 60% during the day before dropping to 40% tonight. So you might catch a break if you live in Miami-Dade.
Broward rain chances
Broward trick or treaters, however, should keep hold of the scuba diver costumes just in case. Your rain and thunderstorm chance tonight is 50%.
Saturday afternoon carried flash flood warnings in parts of the county through 4 p.m., including Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Sunrise and Fort Lauderdale, the National Weather Service said in several alerts.
How does Key West sound?
Or, consider the Florida Keys, where rain chances are just 20% for most of the island chain.
In fact, if you head all the way south to Key West you’ll be greeted with just a 10% rain chance and a comfy low of 80 degrees Saturday night.
