Trick-or-Treat, Clinton Township! Patch Has Your Halloween Forecast

Winter coats will need to fit under Halloween costumes again this year, as the forecast for Clinton Township remains cold and rainy Wednesday.

The National Weather Service has dropped its wind advisory for the area, but gusts could still reach up to 21 mph in the evening hours. These gusts on top of cloudy skies will keep temperatues in the low 40s, with the wind chill making it feel like the low 30s.

There is a 40 to 60 percent chance of rain Wednesday night, but the National Weather Service estimates that less than a tenth of an inch will actually accumulate.

The sun is due to set Wednesday at 6:25 p.m., and the moon, which is scheduled to rise shortly after 7:30 p.m., will appear nearly full.

There is no defined trick-or-treat time in Clinton Township, but Supervisor Robert Cannon recommends parents keep their children to a 6 to 8 p.m. window.
