Lexington is now among the Central Kentucky towns that have moved its trick-or-treating to Tuesday because of expected Wednesday rain.
The city announced the decision to move trick-or-treating to 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday after many nearby towns and counties did the same.
“Safety is our first priory,” the city stated.
Richmond, Winchester, Danville, Harrodsburg, Mt. Sterling, Scott County, Franklin County, Jessamine County and Harrison County authorities have all also announced trick-or-treating has been moved to Tuesday, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Washington County towns Springfield, Mackville and Willisburg have moved their trick-or-treating to 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday. Lawrenceburg has moved its trick-or-treating to Friday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Berea has announced its trick-or-treating will remain on Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m.
“Heavy rains are likely,” in a storm system Wednesday, WKYT meteorologist Chris Bailey said. The amount of rain will depend on how strong the system is, Bailey said, but he said one model suggests wind gusts of greater than 40 to 50 mph are possible.
