Sunday is going to bring the best weather of the week,” a meteorologist with the National Weather Service said.
Predicted rain and strong wind gusts may be more than just an unpleasant experience for trick-or-treaters. Here's what folklore says.
Syracuse, N.Y. -- A storm system will bring welcome rainfall to parched Upstate New York, but it might also make for spooky weather on Halloween night. The National Weather Service predicts heavy rain all day Thursday and into Friday, with 1 to 2 inches of rain falling across much of the region.
Parts of New York City saw record rainfall on Thursday, and the deluge flooded some streets and subway stations. According to NYC Emergency Management, the National Weather Service reported that 1.8 inches of rain fell in Central Park on Thursday. That would preliminarily break the previous known record set in 1917, the department said.
John F. Kennedy International Airport is under a ground stop until 7:30 p.m. Friday due to staffing shortages, New York City Emergency Management said. The airport is also on a ground delay through early Saturday morning due to high winds and staffing.
