what to expect where you are
Key Points:
- Halloween weather will be generally warm or dry across most of the country, but some regions may experience rain, wind, or chilly temperatures, requiring rain gear or warmer costumes.
- The Northeast is expected to have pleasant weather with no rain or snow, though kids may need jackets if trick-or-treating after sunset, especially in New England.
- The South faces a risk of showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the lower Mississippi Valley, parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee Valley, and Florida’s Atlantic beaches, so carrying umbrellas or rain jackets is advisable.
- The Midwest will have warm temperatures in the 50s and 60s with possible showers and thunder from Missouri to the Ohio Valley, suggesting rain gear might be needed.
- The West, including parts of the Southwest and California, may experience rain or snow in the Rockies and Sierra, with cooler temperatures and cloudy skies; San Diego could see its first measurable Halloween rain in 39 years.
