Halloween is upon us, and so is more rain. Here is the forecast in Tacoma for Oct. 31

Gloomy and dark skies usually add to the Halloween experience, but rain can ruin the vibe. Unfortunately, that might be the case for folks in Tacoma who are planning to go trick-or-treating Thursday.

The past few days have brought rain showers throughout the region, and it looks like the rain will continue throughout the rest of the week and into early next week.
