Election Day Stays Sunny for Much of U.S. as Midweek Winds Build and a Strong Weekend Front Looms

Forecasters flag a Sunday cold front expected to flip the pattern to colder next week with frost risk in many inland areas.

Overview

  • - A broad high pressure system is delivering dry skies and mild 60s–70s for Election Day across large regions, with El Paso near record warmth around the mid-80s.
  • - Wind advisories point to recurring gusts of roughly 25–55 mph from Wednesday night into Thursday in parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes, raising the risk of scattered outages and hazardous marine conditions.
  • - Late-week and weekend systems bring renewed precipitation chances, with rain likely for many areas and a rain-to-snow mix possible in colder or higher-elevation zones.
  • - The National Hurricane Center indicates no Atlantic development this week, as Boston-area forecasters warn of full-moon high tides that could briefly flood low-lying roads such as Morrissey Boulevard.
  • - Behind the stronger Sunday front, temperatures drop sharply early next week with frost or freezes possible inland and heightened wildfire concerns in South Texas due to dry, gusty air.
