Weather conditions are looking awfully good for Halloween in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba on Thursday.

The spooky clouds today and tonight will set the perfect mood for treats.

Two added bonuses: very light winds and daytime temperatures two or three degrees above normal. Most areas will see temperatures rise by up to 6°C or 7°C this afternoon, including Winnipeg.

It’s always a good idea to wear an extra layer or two under your suit. Temperatures will slowly drop during prime time.

It’s also worth noting that it will be a snow-free Halloween. Last year, there was 5 cm of snow on the ground in Winnipeg.

The sun will shine this afternoon in northern Manitoba.

Daytime temperatures will remain below freezing across most of the region, but The Pas could reach 0°C.

In northwestern Ontario, sky conditions are mixed. Kenora will be cloudy, while Dryden and Fort Frances will see at least some sunshine. High temperatures will be slightly colder, around 3°C or 4°C respectively.

Cloudy skies continue this evening in Winnipeg and the south. Overnight lows will fall to or just below freezing.

Friday kicks off the month of November with lingering clouds and maximum temperatures of around 7°C and 8°C.

The sun returns to Winnipeg on Saturday, before the weekend turns soggy on Sunday.
