Severe thunderstorms will threaten Halloween in the mid-Atlantic and South as a strong cold front moves through the East.
A large area in the East will see showers and thunderstorms Thursday into Thursday night, from the Southeast to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
The greatest risk for severe thunderstorms will stretch from parts of the Carolinas into Pennsylvania, including Raleigh, North Carolina, Richmond, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Forecast guidance shows a squall line of thunderstorms moving eastward through these areas during the late afternoon and evening hours. Some of those storms will be severe with damaging wind gusts being the primary threat, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
If you have trick-or-treating plans, be sure you have a way to receive warnings and a plan to seek shelter if the storms hit your area.
National Halloween Evening Forecast
Showers and thunderstorms will remain likely in parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic into Halloween evening.
The storm system will continue to march eastward during the afternoon hours but may clear out just in time for trick-or-treating from Cincinnati to Atlanta.
Snow or a mix of rain and snow is possible in the Great Lakes as cold air wraps around the low-pressure system.
Give your mummies a few extra layers across the West and Plains, where temperatures will be much colder than average for the final day of October. Evening temperatures will be in the teens and 20s from Colorado to Montana.
