Dry Halloween Evening, Dangerous Gusts as Wind Advisories Sweep the Northeast

Strong west winds behind the departing storm pose a risk of downed branches and isolated outages.

Overview

  • Steady rain exited by morning for most of the Northeast, setting up largely dry trick-or-treating with a chilly feel in the 40s by evening after daytime highs in the 50s.
  • Wind Advisories cover wide areas with peak gusts around 40–50 mph during prime evening hours, prompting guidance to secure decorations and use caution around trees and power lines.
  • Higher elevations in the Adirondacks and New Hampshire’s White Mountains could see mixed precipitation or wet snow overnight into Saturday, mainly above 3,000 feet.
  • Winds ease this weekend with cooler, mostly dry weather; a few spotty showers are possible late Saturday into early Sunday, with additional, modest shower chances early next week.
  • Conditions differ sharply farther south, where South Florida, the Gulf Coast and Houston expect clear, warm Halloween weather with evening temperatures holding in the 60s to low 70s.
