Story summary

It's the first time since 2020 that Halloween falls on a Saturday, with millions of Americans planning trick-or-treating and outdoor festivities across the country. However, FOX Weather forecasts mixed conditions for Halloween weekend due to El Niño’s influence and Hurricane Vance. In the Northeast, high pressure will keep the weather dry, with temperatures slightly above average in the 60s during the day but cooler at night. The Southeast is also expected to be warm and dry, with highs in the 70s. For the Southern Plains, El Niño could bring remnant moisture from Hurricane Vance, increasing the risk of rain.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
