Every hue from the green of summer to the deep, rusty brown of late autumn is visible on this tree in Lakeport, perhaps confused by the recent warm spell. The heat wave will continue today, with Accuweather calling for a high in the 80s — well above the historical average of 69 at lake level. Forecasts call for a pleasant Halloween day, with rain unlikely until Friday. Accuweather forecasts a stronger chance of precipitation next Saturday. – Dave Faries — Lake County Publishing
