Our next best chance of rain comes this weekend. Will your Halloween feature soggy pumpkins and melting witches? The timing of these showers is still uncertain.

Tonight's full moon should reach its greatest extent at 11:12 pm. It's the first full moon after last month's "Harvest Moon", so this is referred to as the "Hunter's Moon". High clouds may obscure viewing overnight. #stlwx #mowx #midmowx #ilwx
The image shows a full moon rising over downtown St. Louis. The text explains what a "Hunter's Moon" is, occurring a month after the "Harvest Moon".
