More spooktacular stories
If you’re heading outdoors Friday night to take part in any Halloween events à la trick or treating, make sure to bundle up as windy and chilly conditions are in store across the D.C. region.
Friday’s high temperatures are expected to only get into the low 60s as wind gusts of up to 50 mph have the potential to make it feel a bit bone-chilling.
Wind advisories are expected to remain in effect for much of the day for residents in parts of central and western Maryland, according to the National Weather Service.
While winds are expected to die down by sunset, around 6 p.m., the teeth-chattering conditions won’t necessarily be dying along with it.
“Temperatures will fall out of the 50s into the 40s tonight for the trick or treaters,” said 7New First Alert Senior Meteorologist Eileen Whelan.
So, stay safe, watch out for spooky skeletons and make sure to score some hot chocolate to keep those bones warm.
