Halloween Washout With Steady Rain and 40 MPH Winds In CNY

Bundle up the little ghosts and goblins because we're in for rain on Halloween and lots of it.

A storm system will bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the region Thursday into Friday. The National Weather Service says this will include a powerful front blasting through the region Thursday evening for trick or treating, with heavy showers and perhaps thunder containing strong gusty winds. Isolated flash flooding will be possible. Drains clogged with leaves may lead to roadway flooding.

The region will dry out Friday, though winds may gust above 40 mph at times, which could lead to scattered power outages. A Wind Advisory may be needed.

Plan on doing your Trick-or-Treating with us at Sangertown Square from 4-5pm on Halloween. It's warm, safe and dry.
