Halloween weekend could bring wet weather to several parts of the United States, while Chicago is expected to remain warm through the holiday.

FOX Weather reported that moisture from Tropical Storm Vance could fuel widespread rain affecting millions over the Halloween weekend. In Southern California, KTLA said the forecast includes a chance of rain, though no timing or expected totals were specified.

Forecasters are also monitoring possible Halloween rain in Texas. WFAA reported a rain chance for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, while Click2Houston said rain and storms are expected to return during the week, with additional chances over Halloween weekend.

In contrast, FOX 32 Chicago forecast continued warm temperatures through Halloween.
