Halloween Forecast: Mostly Dry in Chicago, Lake-Effect Risk in Northeast Ohio

Gusty northwest winds will make for a chilly feel, with localized lake-effect bands posing brief shower chances.

Overview

  • Chicago starts sunny before clouds thicken, with a low chance under roughly 20% for brief sprinkles after about 4 p.m.
  • Northeast Ohio may see lingering morning showers, then localized lake-effect showers during trick-or-treating in the snowbelt with higher odds late at night.
  • Westerly to northwesterly gusts near Cleveland are forecast around 25–35 mph with occasional peaks near 40 mph before easing Saturday.
  • Daytime highs land in the low to mid 50s, dropping into the 40s by evening, with late-night wind chills in Northeast Ohio in the mid to low 30s.
  • A pocket of very cool air aloft is expected to boost instability Saturday, bringing scattered showers in parts of the region.
