Halloween 2023 is officially here -- but it will be a cold one.
"Maybe have that long underwear ready to go underneath those costumes if you're going trick-or-treating," NBC 5 Meteolrogist Pete Sack said.
Tuesday's Chicago forecast calls for waves of gusty snow showers and squalls in both the morning and afternoon, potentially snarling commutes and trick-or-treat routes. Additionally, cold temperatures in the 30s, wind chill values in the 20s and gusts up to 45 miles-per-hour in some parts will make the holiday an extra spooky one.
But that won't stop many Halloween lovers from braving the cold to collect candy.
