“There may be some relief around Halloween, though many cattle farmers are starting to report severe impacts on their water supply and pastures,” the TCO said.

Unfortunately, that relief could come at the expense of Halloween trick-or-treating, with a 60% chance of rain Saturday night in Clarksville as of this forecast.
