October 31, 2024 · Nikki DaVaughn
🎃 Happy Halloween! Sorry, Kelsey isn’t here and I have absolutely NO idea where she is (doesn't matter what you heard). Luckily, I’m here to take care of Malcolm, beautiful, sweet, perfect Malcolm. The newsletter is mine today, so strap in! 😈

☔ Trick-or-Treating Forecast Looking Spooky
Austin’s Halloween night forecast includes a 20% chance of showers, partly cloudy skies, and low temperatures in the upper 60s, according to meteorologists. During the day, there’s a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms through 1 p.m. Here’s hoping your candy stays dry! [National Weather Service]
