Election Day is forecast to be warm and dry, with temperatures well above seasonal averages.

Election Day across the region is forecast to be warm and dry, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures rising into the upper 60s to near 80 degrees. This represents above-average conditions for this time of year, when normal highs are in the 50s. Winds will remain light through the day, coming from the southeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Mid-week will bring a significant weather change. Wednesday will start dry but see scattered showers develop around lunchtime, with rain continuing on and off throughout the evening. A cold front will bring gusty winds, with gusts reaching as high as 30 mph on ridge lines. Some areas could see localized heavy rain exceeding an inch, though minor flooding is expected given the lack of recent rainfall.

Showers may linger into Thursday morning but will taper off by midday. The rest of the week will see temperatures drop into the 50s with conditions remaining mostly dry, though a few spotty showers are possible Thursday and into the weekend. High pressure will dominate through the first part of the week before the frontal system arrives.
