Hazardous Weather Outlook For Halloween: Hourly Forecast

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Heavy rain and flooding conditions will continue throughout the morning Thursday, but for trick-or-treaters, some good news is that the rain is expected to end between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.

The bad news is that a freeze warning is in effect beginning just after midnight. Expect some areas in most Birmingham area neighborhoods to have standing water and flooding conditions, which pose a hazard to children out trick-or-treating.

Here is the hourly forecast from the National Weather Service in Birmingham:

Meteorologist James Spann said the coldest air so far this season will arrive in Alabama Thursday night.

"Temperatures will fall rapidly behind the cold front, and by midday most communities across north and central Alabama will be in the 40s with a brisk northwest wind," Spann said. "Rain will end from northwest to southeast during the afternoon, and all of the rain will be gone by evening, so trick-or-treaters will have dry conditions for their fun. But it will be cold, with temperatures in the 37- to 42-degree range. Bundle up."
