This time of year is famous for classic fall storms, but this year will be relatively quiet across the country without any major storms. However, the forecast is still tricky in a some areas due to the timing of a few weak systems. The bonus is that most of Canada will be within a few degrees of seasonal for Halloween. While we won’t have any truly warm temperatures, we will also avoid any exceptionally cold weather.

The timing looks good for most of the region for trick-or-treating. Widespread rain across southern and eastern Ontario earlier in the day will end during the afternoon. However, the timing is still tricky for areas near the U.S. border, especially east of Brockville and across southern Quebec where the threat for showers is expected to linger into the early evening with wet snow for central Quebec expected. Temperatures will be near seasonal for most of the region, but a few degrees above seasonal across most of southern Ontario with near double digit temperatures along the 401 corridor from Windsor to Kingston.
