Does anyone know of a place to get long-range weather forecasts? I'm wondering, of course, about the prospects of rain on Halloween here in the SF Bay Area. We've been lucky for the past several years, but ya never know. I figure that if I have some idea of what to expect, I can at least have a contingency plan in place. Thanks!

Not sure how accurate it is though.

I too have been worrying about this. Our House haunt is really low budget, so we can't weatherproof everything. I doubt many people would even show up, making this whole month a waste.

Are you psychic? Just guessing or have an inside source?
Ask me the day before Halloween. Our forecasts can change hourly so I don't make predictions or hold to any of the long range forecasts.
If our trend holds out though, we should be pretty good. Haven't had a rainy night in several years.

Go find a bookstore and look in the Farmer's Almanac. Somehow, it's pretty accurate year after year, at least for my area. Not sure how they do it. Or go here http://www.almanac.com/

I'm in San Diego, I'll come and see it. But you'll have to stop by my front yard haunt. It's only fair.

The Weather Channel may help also ( weather.com ), but anything over seven days is just a guess. I haven't been able to use my fog machines for the last two years due to wind and rain.

35 days in advance may require a crystal ball.

As accurate as our weather people are you may as well stand outside and look for yourself. If you go outside and it's raining then you're on the upper end of a 50/50 chance for rain!!! Hahahahahaha!!!

Yeah, I know what you mean, Beth! Weather forecasters are a lot like like priests - most of what they say you have to take on faith.
