Halloween across the United States will feature a wide range of weather conditions this year.

Some will experience perfect crisp, fall trick-or-treating weather while others may be dodging showers or sweating through their costumes this evening.

Here’s how the evening forecast is shaping up for trick-or-treaters: Showers and a few thunderstorms may linger along the cold front, dampening parts of the eastern Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley and lower Mississippi Valley this evening. That might include Cincinnati, Nashville and New Orleans.

Rain or snow showers and windy conditions are expected in parts of northern Michigan and northern Wisconsin. R​ain showers and mountain snow might also affect the Pacific Northwest in spots.

A winter coat will be a good addition to your Halloween costume if you live in the Northwest, Rockies or upper Midwest. Temperatures will plummet into the 30s or 40s, making evening festivities chilly.

On the other hand, parts of the South and East could be sweating through their costumes come trick-or-treating time as temperatures are expected to linger in the 70s into the evening hours.
