anything suspicious or that remotely feels like it could be something at risk, go ahead and discard those items . i think they should obviously travel in groups. we'd like to see that a parent is escorting them . there will be a lot of foot traffic. obviously there could be concern for traffic safety. in addition to that, not to consume candies until the parents have had the opportunity to inspect and take a look at everything they receive as they are out trick-or-treating . >> it is how unclear how the if use candies got there but the school district is urging families to throw out all the candy from that event . police are trying to figure out if the cannabis candies were mixed and accidentally or intentionally. if you are still looking for halloween plans, here is a few ideas. sausalito parks and rec is holding a halloween parade at station one firehouse at 6:00 tonight and the east bay berkeley rec is

let's go to first alert weather now. we couldn't ask for a better halloween forecast in the bay area. look at those clear skies. darren peck joins me now from the virtual view studios. wow, we really lucked out . >> you know from the past several years from making plans for your own kids, this forecast matters. and for the last several years you probably remember that there was always a chance of rain. >> and you always had to have a cold handy. you don't want to wear a coat over your costume . >> you don't have to worry about any of that. we are not worried about rain. let's pick out a couple of different microclimates and show you what the temperatures will feel like the first one we will look at, let's start with san jose. low 70s now and by the time we get through prime time trick or treating the numbers are still staying in the low 60s. we will do three

representative microclimates. let's bring the next one in. this would be one of the cooler ones in the city but not drastically different, maybe three or 4 degrees cooler, and not windy. it will be a beautiful night. you go inland for inland contra costa county, that is the forecast. one thing that stands out about right now, not only that we are not getting rain but the atmosphere is very dry. let's use our virtual map to depict what probably stands out as the most notable thing about right now, how low the humidity is. i did this yesterday and they were kind of clarified this. what is normal? mid 50s. in terms of relative humidity percentages we should be in the mid-50s . that is what we are used to. we are looking at relative humidity down in the teens and we will see that pretty much bay area wide, tri-valley in the 20s, all of

these are relatively low. it feels drier near the water because you are particularly drier than typical. i will show you how this changes. we've still got another cold night, just to focus on where some of the coldest numbers will be for the northbay valleys. it will be exactly like this morning was. if you needed a jacket this morning plan on using one tomorrow. let's get into the forecast and let's see how we improve that situation. the cow dramatically different the relative humidity will be by the end of the week. you don't really see a whole lot of change and then into friday, watch what happens. there is this whole skilled surge of an onshore flow that brings back normal humidity levels . and the only reason that is happening is because the storm track is getting reoriented. it will also try to bring us a little bit of rain. a couple

of storms coming out of the pacific. the first one will be missed but the next one we will get and that one, unfortunately , timing is on the weekend. and if you look at the system, it gets us to saturday in the afternoon. look at that pattern, extending all the way out to the pacific. when we visualize that, it does have at least a week to moderate atmospheric river. but that is only to look at this from the weather deep side. we don't anticipate significant amounts of rain because the dynamics will not necessarily be there. even if we tap into the mule moisture feed we are on the southern edge of this thing. if we look at the chance for rain, still persistently in the forecast through saturday. we won't naildothe times to specifically because it has wobbled around that we are focusing on saturday into very early sunday morning as a chance to get maureen and we

will get better on the totals as well once we get closer to the actual system. when we look at the seven-day forecast you can see rain in two of the tubes. we got rain for saturday and sunday. and sunday showers will linger into the early morning . and when we look at that microclimate that shows up for the bay, same story, both of those days have at least a chance for rain and every other day looks pretty good. still ahead, the niners making moves just-in-time for today's trade deadline. plus, how they plan to rest up and regrouped to try to get back to winning.
