The National Weather Service forecast called for 67 degrees at 3 p.m., with a high of 68 for Halloween. The latest Greenville forecast lists the afternoon forecast and expected high.

The forecast high is close to Greenville’s typical Halloween daytime temperature, but the night is expected to stay milder than normal. The National Weather Service’s climate normals for Oct. 31 list a high of 68 degrees and a low of 44.6 degrees; its current forecast puts the overnight low at 53. That gap means the evening chill should be less sharp than the date’s historical average suggests. The Oct. 31 climate normals provide the comparison.

Clouds Build As Winds Stay Up

The afternoon has remained dry, and the National Weather Service’s daily forecast gives Greenville a 0% chance of precipitation today. Outdoor plans should stay dry, though the forecast calls for cloudy skies tonight. The current Greenville forecast lists the precipitation chance and tonight’s sky conditions.

Halloween Night Turns Cloudy And Cooler

Saturday night will be cloudy with a low around 53 and northeast winds of 8 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph. Anyone staying out after dark should plan on an extra layer, because the wind will make the low 50s feel less festive than the candy haul. The latest National Weather Service forecast gives the overnight temperature and wind range.

Sunday is forecast to be partly sunny with a high near 66 and a 5% chance of precipitation. Monday is now expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 68. The updated Greenville forecast lists both days’ sky conditions and highs; the NWS daily outlook gives Sunday’s precipitation chance.

Tuesday is forecast to be mostly sunny with a high near 73. Tuesday night’s low is forecast around 58. Wednesday’s forecast calls for a 40% chance of showers after 8 a.m. and a high near 73. The latest National Weather Service point forecast gives Tuesday’s temperatures; the detailed NWS outlook gives Wednesday’s timing and high.

The northeast breeze fits the weather pattern the Greenville-Spartanburg forecast office outlined for the region: a backdoor cold front moving in from the northeast, with northeast winds behind it. That helps explain why the day can feel breezy even as skies stay dry. The office’s forecast discussion describes the front and the wind shift.

More Showers Could Follow

Showers are likely Wednesday night, with a low around 60 and a 60% chance of precipitation. Thursday now carries a 50% chance of showers and a high near 75. Friday is forecast to be partly sunny with a 30% chance of showers and a high near 74. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area. The latest Greenville point forecast gives the midweek outlook; the Greenville-Spartanburg NWS office lists the current alert status.
