Thursday’s warmth won’t break a record, but it will be an unusually warm Halloween.

Thursday will be a few degrees cooler with afternoon highs in the lower 70s, but rain and wind could cause discomfort.

The showers, including an isolated thunderstorm, will come from the west. The best time for showers is from noon to 5 p.m., but a few showers can appear as early as 11 a.m. and last until 6 p.m. This means that children and families may encounter a few raindrops at the beginning of the trick or. treat, but the showers will subside.

Winds from the south and southwest will be 25 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 60 mph in Metro Detroit. In De Duim, wind gusts can reach up to 45 km/h.

A wind advisory is in effect for the Thumb, including Sanilac County, from 2:00 PM Thursday to 2:00 AM Friday.

It will be chilly on Thursday evening. The cloud cover will gradually decrease. Lows will be 40 to 45 degrees.

Thursday’s wet, windy weather may cause inconvenience for some people. Conditions on October 31 will be very different than last year. This past Halloween (2023), Metro Detroit had measurable snow of 0.2 inches at Metro Airport. The average high for Halloween is 56 degrees and the average low is 39 degrees.
