Overview

  • Most areas begin the week dry and seasonably mild with plentiful sun and highs near 60 degrees in the North and Midwest.
  • Election Day turns blustery with widespread gusts near 30 to 35 mph, raising concerns for outdoor plans and coastal conditions in parts of Florida.
  • A series of quick systems brings mainly nighttime showers Wednesday night and again late week into the weekend with generally light totals.
  • Regional contrasts persist as Central and Northeast Florida trend warmer, reaching the upper 70s to low 80s, while many other regions hold in the 50s to low 60s.
  • Daylight Saving Time has ended, producing earlier sunsets that now occur before 5 p.m. in parts of the Northeast with only limited drought relief expected from this week’s light rain.
