Be Prepared for a Rainy Trick-or-Treat in Salem

Today is Thursday, Oct. 31, and here are the five things you need to know: 

1. You'll want to be prepared for wet weather today. The National Weather Service is predicting that local residents can expect a chance of showers after 3 p.m. Otherwise it will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 61. Tonight should be cloudy, with a low around 57. (sunrise, 7:16 a.m.; high tide, 9:12 a.m.; low tide, 3:22 p.m.; sunset, 5:37 p.m.)

3. If you decided to go to bed early last night, you probably missed The Boston Red Sox winning their first World Series at Fenway Park since 1918. We will be sure to let you know when the big parade will be once that information is released. 

4. Don't forget! Salem Mayor Kimberley Driscoll will hold an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit today! Join her at this link at noon with your questions about Salem, Haunted Happenings, or anything else you may have on your mind! Click Here for details. 

5. Today in History: On Oct. 31, 1956, The United Kingdom and France began bombing Egypt to force the reopening of the Suez Canal.
