U.S. Forecast: Mild Start, Spotty Showers Tonight, Windy Election Day

Heavier, more widespread rain is favored late this week, with early rounds too light to ease ongoing deficits.

Overview

  • Most areas are warmer and mainly dry today, with highs largely in the 50s to near 60s and parts of the Southeast reaching the 70s.
  • Fast‑moving showers arrive this evening into overnight, generally light and hit‑or‑miss, with many spots under a tenth of an inch.
  • Election Day turns blustery as post‑frontal gusts commonly reach 30–40+ mph in vulnerable areas, creating a chilly feel and isolated minor issues.
  • Another quick disturbance brings showers Wednesday night and renewed winds Thursday, with the late‑week period offering the best chance for broader rainfall.
  • Higher terrain in northern New England may see a rain‑snow mix with the colder late‑week push, while Central Florida trends warmer with strengthening northeast winds reducing beach and boating safety.
