A gray afternoon provided an appropriate autumn setting for Halloween trick-or-treating in downtown Red Bank Thursday.

Then came powerful winds overnight, leaving multiple power outages on the Greater Red Bank Green, according to JCP&L’s outage map. A wind advisory issued by the National Weather Service  warned of wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour until noon Friday.

Wind aside, we’ll also see something that’s been missing in recent days: sunshine. Check out the extended forecast below. (Photos by John T. Ward. Click to enlarge.)
