San Francisco Weather: The Bay Area Outlook for Halloween

On By Littum

The rain comes in the evening

Rain is expected to arrive later this evening, mostly in the North Bay.

OAKLAND, California – As kids prepare to dress up as Taylor Swift and characters from Despicable Me this Halloween, they’ll no doubt have this looming question: Should I wear a coat—maybe even a raincoat—over my costume?

The answer to the first question is probably yes.

KTVU meteorologist Steve Paulson said Thursday’s trick-or-treating hours will be chilly.

At 6pm it will be in the 50s and 60s.

At 8 p.m., the temps will dive into the 50s.

And for those teenagers who stay out until 10pm? The forecast is between the 40s and 50s.

Will it rain on Halloween?

As for the wet weather, meteorologists say it could rain in the Bay Area overnight Wednesday and then again Friday.

But Thursday was supposed to be dry.

For the most part, the Bay Area should escape the rain on Halloween, Paulson said.

But he advised picking up.

“It won’t be very hot,” he said.
