The Halloween weather forecast should be ideal for trick-or-treating, meaning clear skies and temperatures likely in the 60s at sunset.
Even with the moon above and the help of streetlights, everybody is encouraged to take extra care with the ghosts and goblins. Here’s Emporia Police Master Patrol Officer Jaffar Agha on the most recent KVOE J& J Show:

Emporia Police are encouraging kids to walk on sidewalks if possible and to cross streets with adults at corners, using traffic signals or crosswalks if those are available. Children should also have a glow stick and reflective markings on their costumes if possible. Parents should accompany young children during trick-or-treating and check candy for foreign objects afterward. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and be extra alert in residential neighborhoods, especially in high-traffic neighborhoods like Rural Street from Ninth to 18th.
