22News Storm Team Meteorologist Chris Bouzakis has a look at what will cause the warming temperatures.
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – While temperatures have been around or slightly below average the past few days, there is a big warm-up on the way for Halloween.
Monday’s temperatures are below average, in the low 50s but there might be one last taste of summer before going into November. A huge area of high pressure in the Midwest with a lift in the jet stream is going to move east into New England on Wednesday this week and spike temperatures into the 70s and even around 80 degrees on Thursday for Halloween.
The record warm temperature for Halloween is 73 degrees back in 1946 and 1999. This record is expected to be broken. Even overnight temperatures for Halloween trick-or-treating look to be in the 50s which is well above average for this time of year.
7 Day Forecast
The temperatures fall back into the 50s and 60s for the weekend to start November.
