BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — As we approach Halloween, WNY will be dealt some tricks and treats regarding the weather!

First, of course, are the treats if you like above-average temperatures for the end of October! Wednesday's high is likely to reach 74 degrees, which would tie the record set in 1946. Then, on Thursday, it'll get into the mid-upper 70s and likely break the record of 73 set in 1971. Both days will be quite breezy with gusts near 40mph.

Then we'll be dealt the tricks as a cold front comes sweeping across the region Thursday evening, possibly ending trick-or-treating on a wet note if you're out past 8 pm. Friday will be the toughest trick to take as temperatures struggle to get out of the 40s and a chilly breeze remains.
