Trick-or-Treaters will likely have to contend with soggy weather as a cold front moves in.
During severe weather, stay informed of changes in the forecast and families should develop a plan in the event of loved ones getting separated, according to the state EMA release.

Most communities have Beggar's Night festivities scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Simpson said that could be the wettest time of the day.
"Later in the day rain will get steadier and perhaps heavier in spots," Simpson said. "Also winds will increase through the day with some gusts up to 30 mph possible by evening."
A line of rain with stronger winds and potentially some thunder will arrive at some point in the evening, but Simpson said there is a good chance this will hold off until trick-or-treating is over.
"Depending on how it plays out we may have some gusts to 50 mph, which will be capable of bringing down tree limbs, possibly some power outages," Simpson said.
After midnight, rain will start to taper down and should be gone by sunrise Friday. Temperatures Thursday will be in the mid-60s.
