Expect a pleasant and seasonable Sunday with sunshine returning by the afternoon and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Hurricane Melissa is also likely to churn up waves at the Shore. Heavy rains are possible in Philly, with high winds on Halloween.

Philadelphia's weather forecast includes showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds, with heavy rainfall expected.

Winds will pick up near the shore, gusting up to 30 or 35 mph and move across the entire Delaware Valley. The rainfall totals will likely end up in the 1 to 3 inches range, spread over the course of 6 to 12 hours. Because of the extended period, flash flooding isn't likely but certainly bears watching.

Typically, gusts back off as the sun sets, but Larsen doesn’t “think that will happen” on Friday. He expects steady winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 mph “through the first part” of the evening. That “will be … uncomfortable, and problematic, for some Halloween costumes and trick-or-treaters in general,” Larsen said.
