As we gear up for a fun-filled evening of trick-or-treating, Columbus, Mississippi, is facing a wet and stormy Halloween. Parents, get ready for a bit of a showdown with your little ghouls and goblins over those dazzling costumes. It looks like we’re in for a battle against the elements this Thursday evening, and you’ll want to be prepared!
Thursday kicks off dry in the morning, but hold onto your hats, folks! The clouds are already gathering strength, and by the afternoon, showers will start creeping in from the western and northwestern parts of our area. As the clock ticks closer to evening, those rain showers could come with a few rumbles of thunder, adding to the spooky atmosphere!
We know how much kids love their Halloween costumes, and let’s be real, many of them won’t want to cover up their pirate, princess, or spooky skeleton costumes with a heavy rain jacket. Consider opting for clear ponchos or a cute umbrella that doesn’t dampen the Halloween spirit. Safety is also a priority, so remember the old saying: “When you hear the roar, head indoors!” Although that might lead to a minor tantrum over missing candy, a few sweet treats can certainly help smooth things over!
Tonight’s lows are expected to hover in the comfy middle 60s, which is quite mild for this time of year. If you’ve got to head outside with your kiddos, you won’t be encountering a chill. But do expect the temperatures to drop slightly as the storm rolls in, prompting everyone to think twice about those costumes!
For those who may have plans beyond Halloween night, the forecast doesn’t immediately let up. Friday will still carry some residual moisture from Thursday’s cold front. There’s a chance that we may wake up to overcast skies and even some lingering showers. However, don’t let this put a damper on your day! The rain should clear out, leaving us with a lovely, sunny afternoon, and temperatures will dip just a bit into the upper 70s.
As the weather swirls around us, remember that we live and thrive here in North Mississippi and West Alabama. Our diverse community ties us together, whether we are braving the storm for candy or enjoying a sunlit afternoon outdoors. Share your spooky stories and pictures as the evening unfolds!
So as we prepare for a Halloween filled with tricks, treats, and maybe a little rain, let’s remember to keep our spirits high. After all, a little drizzle won’t stop the fun—just add to the magic of the night.
