New York City's residents and visitors alike can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to their Halloween decorations – they won't be lifting off into the air thanks to strong winds expected to sweep through the five boroughs on Friday. Clear skies and cooler temperatures are on tap, with gusts reaching 30-40 miles per hour.
For those planning to hand out candy or attend a spooky spectacle, meteorologist Matt Wunsch advises tying down any loose items that could take flight. "It'll be dry," he notes, "but it'll be windy." Temperatures will hover in the mid-50s to low 60s, making for crisp Halloween weather.
However, Wednesday and Thursday are expected to bring rain showers, with a higher chance of scattered thunderstorms on the latter day. Skies should clear up by Friday morning, only to pick up again as the windy system moves northward.
On Saturday, gusty winds will still be present, though they'll be less intense than on Friday. Sunday's forecast for the New York City Marathon looks promising, with clear skies, lighter breezes, and temperatures in the mid-50s – ideal conditions for a dry and eventful marathon.
