DES MOINES, Iowa — Editor's Note: The video above originally aired Oct. 30, 2021.
Trick-or-treaters around central Iowa are putting the finishing touches on their costumes ahead of Beggars' Night and Halloween.
But will this year's weather be a trick or a treat?
Early forecast model data suggests a generally comfortable forecast for both Beggars' Night and Halloween.
Witches, ghouls and goblins can expect mainly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 50s on Sunday evening, while it will be a bit clearer on Monday evening with sunset temperatures in the mid to upper 50s.
Aside from a passing shower in southeastern Iowa on Sunday evening, the forecast remains largely dry through the end of October.
Additionally, the wind should be relatively light both evenings, so kids likely won't need the puffy coats this time around.
Considering the extremes for both Beggars' Night and Halloween, it's fair to say this year's outlook is definitely a treat.
The average high for Oct. 31 in Des Moines is 56 degrees, while the average low temperature is 37 degrees.
This year will be relatively close to average.
Some Halloweens are mild, while others feature bone-chilling cold.
In 1950, Des Moines hit a record Halloween high temperature of 86 degrees, while 1996 was exceptionally chilly with a record cold high temperature of only 34 degrees.
You'll likely recall 1996 as the year of the "Halloween Blizzard," when more than six inches of snow fell just a few days prior.
History won't be made this year for trick-or-treaters, but that just means better conditions for snagging candy all across central Iowa.
