Are spooky, scary temperatures set to send shivers down the spine of trick-or-treaters? Only if they're underdressed.
Despite a cold start, Tuesday will be fairly seasonable, if not a bit chillier than normal — particularly at night.
Temperatures will top out in the low 50s and dip into the 40s as the night goes on, making a jacket or long sleeves called for underneath Halloween costumes to deal with the cooler and breezy conditions. But it should stay mostly dry for most the night.

Just don't get caught outside after midnight. No, not because of some ancient Halloween curse — that's just when the chilly showers move in. Those bouts of rain will stick around for the morning commute Wednesday, but will move out by the early afternoon.
There will also be freeze watches in effect for much of New Jersey, save for the counties right outside NYC, with temperatures possibly hitting below freezing. A frost advisory is in effect for parts of the mid-Hudson Valley and inland Fairfield County in Connecticut, as lows will near freezing as well.
It will be quite the chilly kickoff to November, with highs possibly not even getting out of the 40s (that's less than a week after highs possibly reaching the 80s).
Weather Stories
Then the coldest air of the season settles in Thursday morning, with lows in the 30s for NYC. Skies will remain clear for the rest of the week, with temperatures in the 50s — and no days reaching the 60s until Saturday, which looks like a pleasant fall day. A light jacket will still come in handy for any outdoor plans.
As for the New York City Marathon on Sunday, it looks like an ideal day for runners and spectators. Temperatures will be in the low 50s to start in the morning and will climb into the low 60s in the afternoon.
And don't forget: Daylight Saving Times ends on Sunday, so remember to set clocks back an hour that night (giving you an extra hour of sleep...or at the bar. Either way).
