Rain could affect Halloween weekend plans in parts of the southern and western United States, with forecasts pointing to showers in North Texas, Houston and Los Angeles.

The Weather Channel said trick-or-treating could be wet in parts of the South and West. North Texas faces a chance of showers, while humidity and rain are expected to return to Houston. Los Angeles could experience its first rainy Halloween in more than a decade, according to the Los Angeles Times. Rain showers are also forecast to return late Saturday night.

In Ireland, Met Éireann forecast a mostly dry and bright Halloween after early patchy rain. Rain and drizzle will move into Atlantic counties Friday and linger for a time Saturday before becoming patchier, while much of the midlands, south and east should remain dry with sunny spells. Damp and misty conditions may develop late Saturday evening, with highs of 12 to 15 degrees Celsius.

Sunday in Ireland is expected to be largely dry with sunny spells after possible morning drizzle. High pressure is forecast to bring drier-than-average conditions during the first week of November.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Delete the unsupported Cincinnati location while retaining the source-supported timing and rain forecast. - "Rain showers are also forecast to return late Saturday night around Cincinnati.": The supplied WLWT source supports late-Saturday-night rain showers, but the source material provided does not identify Cincinnati as the forecast location.
