Massive Storm Brings Rain, Wind, Cold to Northeast Halloween

A significant storm system is expected to impact New York and the Northeast on Halloween 2025, bringing wind gusts of 20-30 mph, rain, and cold temperatures in the 40s with wind chills in the 30s. The majority of the rain is forecasted for Thursday, with showers possibly lingering into Friday, but there is hope for partial clearing during trick-or-treating Friday night. In the Acadiana region and New Orleans, a cold front will bring a temperature drop and windy conditions by midweek, with highs falling into the 60s and lows dropping into the 40s in some areas. New Orleans will experience warm and muggy conditions early in the week, followed by rain overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, then cooler, windy weather with gusts up to 40 mph and chilly mornings through Halloween. These weather changes mark some of the coldest temperatures so far this fall, with cool conditions expected to persist into the weekend and beyond. Residents are advised to prepare for colder weather and potential disruptions to Halloween plans due to rain and wind across these regions.
