New York City's residents and visitors alike can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to their Halloween decorations – they won't be lifting off into the air thanks to strong winds expected to sweep through the five boroughs on Friday. Clear skies and cooler temperatures are on tap, with gusts reaching 30-40 miles per hour.
For those planning to hand out candy or attend a spooky spectacle, meteorologist Matt Wunsch advises tying down any loose items that could take flight. "It'll be dry," he notes, "but it'll be windy." Temperatures will hover in the mid-50s to low 60s, making for crisp Halloween weather.
However, Wednesday and Thursday are expected to bring rain showers, with a higher chance of scattered thunderstorms on the latter day. Skies should clear up by Friday morning, only to pick up again as the windy system moves northward.
On Saturday, gusty winds will still be present, though they'll be less intense than on Friday. Sunday's forecast for the New York City Marathon looks promising, with clear skies, lighter breezes, and temperatures in the mid-50s – ideal conditions for a dry and eventful marathon.

Ah nice, I was really worried about my spider decorations flying away on Friday 
... but at least it's gonna be a crisp Halloween with no rain 
. 30-40mph winds are a bit intense tho, hope they don't knock over any of the jack-o-lanterns 
. Saturday's still windy too, so I'll def be holding onto my festive figurines 
... can't wait for Sunday's marathon though, perfect weather conditions 
!
. The forecast sounds pretty chill, not too crazy windy but enough to keep things interesting. I do hope those rain showers clear up by Friday tho, don't wanna get caught in the mud with all my friends out trick-or-treating 
. And oh man, perfect marathon conditions on Sunday can't wait to see the pros crush it under that sunny sky 
!
. Don't wanna miss those haunted houses, either! 
. On the other hand, Wednesday & Thursday's rain showers are gonna be a bummer 
️. Still, can't complain when Sunday's forecast is lookin' all good for the NYC Marathon 
. Windy on Saturday, but not as bad as Friday 
. Hope everyone has a howlin' good time!

. The good news is that temps are gonna be comfy for Halloween stuff, like handing out candy or going to a costume party 
!
... fingers crossed it doesn't get as wild! 
I think it's kinda cool that NYC is getting some Halloween spirit, but also super frustrating when those decorations get blown away 
. And omg, how do they even prepare for a windy marathon? Are they gonna give out bandanas or something? 
, but I guess it's all about being prepared, right? I was thinking of dressing up for school's Halloween party on Friday, but now I'm like "should I just wear my costume home too?" lol. I heard some people were worried that the strong winds would mess with their decorations, so they're tying them down, pretty smart thinking 
. And yay, it looks like Sunday will be perfect for the marathon 
can you believe the Mets' chances of making it to the playoffs now? i mean seriously though, who needs spooky decorations when you've got a team that's always flying under the radar? 
Like, isn't that just a metaphor for our lives? We put so much effort into building something, just to have it get swept away by the wind of life 
.
. I mean, can you imagine if all those spider webs and skeletons took off? 
! I mean, who needs their jack-o-lanterns flying away when you can enjoy the crisp autumn air? 
️! I'm loving the idea of clear skies on Sunday for the marathon – perfect conditions for an epic run 
windy weekend ahead so better secure them spooky decorations on Fri 
perfect weather for a marathon tho Sat might still be a bit gusty but Sunday's forecast looks pretty sweet 
anyway, hope everyone has a blast (pun intended) at the Halloween festivities!
