Halloween in Vermont: 30s at Dusk
Clear skies return for the holiday, but a sharp temperature drop forces families to layer up against the chill.

Temperatures in Vermont are forecast to plunge into the 30s by Halloween night, marking a sharp departure from the mild Friday morning.
Forecaster Peter Kvietkauskas reports that residual rain from the previous night will clear by Friday morning. Cloud cover is expected to persist through the day, with highs reaching the upper 50s and lower 60s. Southern Vermont has a better chance of seeing breaks of sunlight compared to the northern parts of the state.
Saturday brings sunny conditions, but the warmth will fade. Highs will hover in the 40s, dropping further into the 30s by trick-or-treat time. Residents should note that clocks fall back one hour on Saturday night, shifting the holiday evening into standard time.
Sunday will offer more sunshine with highs in the 50s. Monday skies will remain mainly cloudy as temperatures recover to the upper 50s and lower 60s by afternoon. Tuesday presents a low risk of isolated showers, with highs between the 50s and 60.
Rain is not expected to return in significant amounts until later next week. Precipitation is likely to develop during the day on Thursday and continue into Friday. Current models suggest totals could exceed one inch, though meteorologists are monitoring the system given the several-day lead time.
