A light rain that chased the last trick-or-treaters home last night about 8:30 p.m. in Sacramento continued through the evening and into this morning.
National Weather Service forecasters predict that the cold front that brought the precipitation will continue to work its way across the interior of Northern California this morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies this afternoon.
Looking ahead to the weekend, forecasters say that Saturday and Sunday should be rain-free with temperatures in the 70s.
