ROCHESTER, NY — It’s going to be a windy and unseasonably warm Halloween, with temperatures reaching a high of 78 degrees and wind gusts reaching 30 miles per hour on Thursday.

Depending on the cloud cover and how strong those southwesterly winds are, it could get even hotter. The record Halloween temperature in Rochester is 80 degrees. Maybe we’ll see another tie like we did on Wednesday.

News10NBC’s weather team is keeping a close eye on a cold front that brings rain to the area Thursday night. The weather is looking promising at the moment with showers not expected to start until 19:00 – 20:00. However, be sure to stay tuned for updates throughout the day as the cold front approaches.

It will be cloudy, very windy and return to more seasonable temperatures on Friday after the cold front moves through. Winds will be between 20 and 35 miles per hour, with gusts possibly as high as 40 mph shortly before sunrise. Temperatures will rise to 50 degrees.

The weekend should be dry with partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies and high temperatures in the 50s. Then a continued chance of showers through the first half of next week.
