Overview
- Wind advisories covered parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes, with peak evening gusts around 30–50 mph in spots such as Albany and New Hampshire.
- Steadier rain generally held off until after prime trick‑or‑treating, with showers spreading overnight into Saturday and lingering in pockets through early afternoon.
- Higher terrain in the Adirondacks, Greens and northern New England faced a late‑night mix or wet snow, with an inch or two possible above 3,000 feet.
- Temperatures ran cool in many northern markets—50s by day and 40s in the evening—while southern areas like the Gulf Coast enjoyed clear, dry Halloween conditions in the 60s–70s.
- Forecasters expect winds to relax into Sunday with brighter, seasonable weather, and Hurricane Melissa is racing into the North Atlantic as a post‑tropical system with no U.S. threat.
