Possible record warmth and rain for Election Day

It's the first full week of November but it feels more like mid to late September.

While we were mostly cloudy for much of the day Monday, temperatures rose to 75°, which is WELL above our average. Winds have been breezy today, from the southwest at 15 to 30 mph, and that will continue overnight.

Overnight will stay dry and mild, with temperatures around 61°. The average low should be 39°, so we will be 20+ degrees above average for this time of the year. Winds overnight will be around 10-15 from the south.

Tuesday is Election Day, and the forecast is great for hitting the polls!

When the polls open in the morning, temperatures start in the low 60s. There will be some passing clouds through the day, with winds gusting from the south. Those gusts could be 30-40 mph at times. We might also see a spotty shower midday, but most of that will be light.

The afternoon will be even warmer than Monday, falling just shy of a record for November 5th. The record is 80 degrees back in 1975. Our expected high will be 79°.

There is a cold front to our west which will move towards the Tri-State during the day Tuesday. That could bring in some rain late Tuesday evening, but the better rain chance will be overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Some areas could see 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch,
with the bulk of that falling between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. Wednesday.
