But will any regions in the Lower 48 see some spooky weather in their forecast as the brewing Super El Niño has full control of the nation's weather?
Northeast
The forecast in the Northeast is looking dry, as high pressure builds across the northern tier of the U.S. next weekend. A lucky thing for trick-or-treaters and those participating in any Halloween parades or outdoor festivities.
Temperatures are also likely to be slightly above average, in the 60s throughout the day but maybe a little cooler in the evening. So you might be able to forgo an extra layer or jacket over your Halloween costume.

Southern Plains
El Niño's influence on the Pacific tropics is likely to come into play for the Southern Plains heading into Halloween weekend.
Remnant moisture from Hurricane Vance could surge north, increasing the risk of rain.
