Halloween Temperatures Hold at 45 Degrees, Setting Up a Milder November
Residents in Vermont face a dry, windless night for trick-or-treating before a warm start to the month.

Highs across the region reached the mid-40s on Friday, keeping Halloween conditions dry but chilly. The lack of wind made the air feel milder than the numbers suggest, though forecasters noted that a jacket remains necessary for evening activities. Most areas saw mostly sunny skies in the morning before shifting to partly sunny conditions in the afternoon. The sky cleared again by evening, allowing for clear visibility during peak trick-or-treat hours.
The current dry spell follows light showers that fell on Thursday night. Those rains have lowered the fire risk, which had been elevated prior to the precipitation. Sunday brings a shift toward warmer weather with mostly sunny skies. High temperatures will climb into the 50s, marking a clear improvement from Friday’s readings. Residents should remember that Standard Time begins Sunday at 2 a.m., requiring clocks to be turned back one hour.
The first week of November arrives with above-normal temperatures. Monday will feature partly sunny skies and highs ranging from the mid-50s to the low 60s. Overnight lows will stay mild in the 40s. Election Day on Tuesday brings mostly cloudy skies but similar daytime warmth. Some locations could see temperatures touch the mid-60s by Wednesday.
Rain returns on Thursday, potentially delivering one of the wettest days in recent weeks. Weather models currently disagree on the exact path of the storm system. Friday offers a return to dry conditions, with highs dipping back to the mid-50s.
