Halloween Brings Gusty Winds and Late-Arriving Showers Across Much of the East

Most areas see dry candy hours, with rain moving in late and winds set to ease into a seasonable weekend.

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.
