It looks like the heaviest rainfall will stay north and west of the Midlands, but strong storms will be possible.

The greatest risk from any strong or severe thunderstorm will be damaging wind gusts. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out either.

Some showers will be possible very early Wednesday, but high pressure will be build into the region.

Friday afternoon will be mostly sunny and cooler with highs in the lower to middle 70s.

Halloween will be sunny and cooler. Highs Saturday will be in the middle 60s.
