Spooky & Chilly: Halloween forecast for the Big Country

BIG COUNTRY (KTAB/KRBC) – Boo! Halloween is finally here, and conditions are shaping up to be great, or spooky, depending on how you look at it.

On Halloween day, highs are expected to reach the mid-70s with sunny skies and a light breeze from the south at 5 to 10 mph. As we approach trick-or-treat time, temperatures will start to cool nicely.

Sunset is at 6:50 p.m. in the Key City. Some families may begin trick-or-treating as early as 6:00 p.m., with most wrapping up around 9:00 p.m. on Friday. During this time, a few clouds will begin to move in, but no rain is expected. Conditions will stay dry and comfortable throughout the evening.

Around 7:00 p.m., temperatures will be near 69 degrees before dipping to about 65°F by 8:00 p.m. and 62°F by 9:00 p.m. on Friday. By then, it may start to feel a bit chilly, but that’s right around the time most kids will be heading home with their bags full of candy. Overnight, temperatures will continue to cool with a morning low near 40 degrees.

A few tips for Halloween night: bring a light jacket for the kids in case they get chilly, carry a flashlight for after sunset, and remember to stay safe while having fun!
