Champaign, IL — Sunny skies will dominate the Champaign area on Saturday, providing pleasant weather for outdoor plans, but those preparing for Halloween festivities next week should be ready for possible rain. Temperatures will hover around 61°F on Saturday with a clear and cool evening to follow. While this weekend promises sunshine, Halloween night may bring showers, potentially impacting trick-or-treating plans.
According to the National Weather Service, after a calm and sunny weekend, Champaign could see rain beginning late Wednesday, continuing into Halloween night. Winds are also expected to pick up, reaching speeds of up to 25 mph, which may affect outdoor decorations and events.
Sunday continues the dry trend with mostly sunny skies and highs near 64°F, while Monday will bring a slight increase in temperatures to 71°F, remaining mostly clear until the evening. However, the weather shifts Tuesday as gusty winds up to 40 mph arrive, and by Halloween night, showers are likely. Trick-or-treaters should plan for potential wet conditions and consider bringing umbrellas or waterproof costumes.
Looking ahead to the first days of November, cooler temperatures and breezy conditions will persist, so residents should take precautions for the wind and rain leading into midweek. Keep an eye on updates for Halloween as rain remains a strong possibility, especially in the evening hours.
