New York City's Halloween forecast is looking decidedly less spooky, with dry and windy conditions expected to prevail across the five boroughs. According to meteorologist Matt Wunsch, gusts of up to 40 miles per hour are on tap for Friday afternoon, making flying a breeze – but also a potential problem for outdoor decorations that could easily become airborne.
Residents are advised to secure any loose items, such as inflatable decorations like ghosts and demons, in order to prevent them from being blown about. "It'll be dry, but it'll be windy," Wunsch cautioned. The windy weather is expected to follow some rain showers that are predicted for Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, with a higher chance of widespread showers throughout the day.
However, by early Friday morning, skies are set to clear up, providing a welcome respite from the gusty conditions. Temperatures will stay in the mid-50s to low 60s throughout the weekend, although Saturday is expected to see some lingering gusts as the system moves north.
The good news for trick-or-treaters and marathon runners alike is that Sunday's forecast looks perfect: clear skies, lighter breezes, and seasonable temperatures in the mid-50s. Wunsch assured New Yorkers that there should be no residual effects from Hurricane Melissa, which will have moved out to sea by then.
Overall, while the weather may not be ideal for spooky festivities, it does promise a pleasant weekend for those looking to take part in outdoor activities – as long as they're prepared for some gusty winds.

I mean, can't they just leave us alone on Friday? 40 miles per hour winds are crazy, like what's the point of even having decorations if it's gonna blow them away? And don't even get me started on flying ghosts and demons, that's just terrifying. 
I guess it's better than getting rained on, but still, a girl can dream of some spooky atmosphere without all the wind & rain. Oh well, at least Sunday looks nice, perfect weather for trick-or-treating & marathons 
.
, guess we'll have to save the fog machines for next year 
. Windy conditions are just going to make those outdoor decorations fly away 
. Better secure them or they'll be lost in Central Park 
!
think its gonna be a pretty boring halloween this year, windy conditions are gonna ruin all the decorations 
but on the bright side, perfect weather for marathon runners and trick-or-treaters 
sunday looks like a great day out
... dry and windy? that sounds more like a bad weather forecast for Thanksgiving, you know what I'm sayin'? but hey, at least it's not supposed to rain or anything, so that's a plus 
️... clear skies and all that jazz 
. hope everyone has fun, even if it's not exactly the spooky vibe we're used to 
. I mean, who wants to walk around in the wind with their costume flying everywhere? 
but at the same time, it's not like it's going to ruin the whole vibe of the holiday. I still get hyped for Halloween every year, even if the weather isn't perfect. and hey, on Sunday looks perfect, so that's something to look forward to 
so dry and windy on halloween? that's just mean 
. who wants to trick-or-treat with a gust of 40mph blowing around their candy? 
. i hope they have a good plan in place or it'll be a real mess... btw, where's the video evidence of this supposed weather forecast? gotta see some pics or vids to believe it 
.
so yeah its gonna be kinda windy halloween which is super annoying for outdoor decorations but i guess its actually kinda cool that we'll get clear skies on Sunday for all the trick-or-treaters and marathon runners 
overall im still stoked for halloween its just a little different this year
It's always a bummer when the weather doesn't cooperate, but at least it'll be clear skies on Sunday so you can still get out and enjoy some trick-or-treating or running in that marathon 
I was really looking forward to all the spooky decorations and not seeing them just flying around like confetti. Its gonna be so annoying trying to enjoy the holiday when everything is just blowing away 
at least the clear skies on Sunday will make up for it tho
.
. But hey, at least Sunday looks perfect for trick-or-treaters and marathon runners... clear skies, lighter breezes, and mid-50s temps 
. also, those marathon runners will love the perfect weather for a sunday run. silver linings, right?
