Baton Rouge trick-or-treaters couldn't ask for much better weather for Halloween this year, with clear skies and cool temperatures in store, the National Weather Service said.

A weather system this past weekend that brought rain was followed by an even stronger one Tuesday night that swept in a strong cold front, a spokesperson said.

"It really did set up dry, clear weather that's cool at night and comfortable during the day," said weather service meteorologist Christopher Bannan.

Friday is expected to be clear throughout the day and night, with a high near 69 and a low around 47.

The nice, fall weather will "stick around all week," Bannan said.

Trick-or-treating hours in Baton Rouge on Friday are from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
