It's definitely going to be chilly for the kids for trick-or-treating this evening. While the kids will be running from door to door, parents not moving so fast will get downright cold.

Here's a look at some of the key weather factors for your trick-or-treating fun tonight.

Temperatures at start of trick-or-treating

Temperatures at 6 p.m. October 31, 2017 will range in the upper 30s to lower 40s in southern Lower. Northern Lower will be in the mid 30s and the U.P. will be around freezing.

Temperatures get colder quickly now

With an earlier sunset now, temperatures will drop three degrees per hour at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. By 7 p.m., temperatures are expected to be in the mid 30s to upper 30s in southern Lower. Parts of northern Lower will drop to near freezing by 7 p.m.

Wind chill will be a factor

When we factor in the wind this evening, it will feel several degrees colder than the actual temperature. At the start of trick-or-treating it will already feel like it's freezing in southwest and south-central Lower Michigan.

Wind chill at the end of trick-or-treating

The wind chill temperature forecast at 7 p.m. on this Halloween shows most Michiganders will feel like the temperature is at or below freezing. Bundle the kids up, and bundle yourself up.

Dampness possible

Here's the radar forecast for 6 p.m. this evening. There won't be large areas of rain or snow in most of Lower Michigan. There will be ten minute spurts of rain and snow showers possible anywhere in Michigan. Along the Lake Michigan shoreline, rain and snow will be more likely. Along the Lake Superior shoreline, snow showers will be more likely. I think you better prepare for a little dampness, but don't expect to get soaked. You will probably be able to wait out a rain or snow shower, and then return to trick-or-treating.
