Overview
- Wind advisories cover parts of the Northeast with peak gusts around 40–45 mph during evening hours and isolated higher gusts in hilltops and mountains.
- Steadier rain from earlier has moved out, leaving mainly dry conditions for most trick-or-treaters, with localized lake-effect or terrain-driven showers in a few spots.
- High elevations could see a brief change to wet snow above roughly 3,000 feet in the Adirondacks and northern mountains late Friday.
- Temperatures settle in the 40s to low 50s Friday evening with a colder feel in the wind, and forecasters urge securing outdoor decorations and watching for isolated outages.
- Gusts diminish overnight into Saturday as high pressure arrives, setting up a drier, near-seasonal weekend; meanwhile, the Deep South and parts of Florida and Texas enjoy clear, comfortable Halloween weather.
