Halloween weekend has arrived, and the forecast is looking a bit spooky.
A nor’easter seems set to bring plenty of rain tonight and tomorrow, and the temperatures just keep dropping.
Luckily, the rain should mostly leave the D.C. region by Sunday, meaning the Marine Corps Marathon and some of the Halloween fun scheduled for this weekend should go off as planned. Be sure to check our event calendar for a full list of the goings on this weekend.
