Things should be good for the trick-or-treaters this evening.  We may see a sprinkle inland during the evening, but overall it will be mostly cloudy and mild.  Sunset is at 6:09 pm.  Before the evening we’ll see very warm temperatures and a very nice day.  Highs will be in the lower 80s.  The record is 84 at Norfolk and Elizabeth City.  We may tie that in Elizabeth City, but we probably won’t reach it at Norfolk International. 

After today the bottom drops out.  Highs tomorrow will be near 60.  Temperatures will probably fall to the 50s in the afternoon.  Highs will be in the 50s and 60s for the next few days.  You may want to winterize your home a little earlier this year.  I’ve already put up plastic over the drafty windows in my home.  I cover the vents that go to the crawl space so that the cold air doesn’t flow in so freely.  I think it helps.  It’s not air-tight, but the flow isn’t so strong.  This helps the insulation that is down there.  Happy Halloween and don’t forget to turn the clocks back tonight.  Also change the batteries in your smoke detectors.  Be safe everyone.
