An Outstanding Election Day Weather-Wise Expected

Today was relatively pleasant with partly to mostly sunny skies during the afternoon and highs in the upper 50’s to lower 60’s, and the weather for Election Day tomorrow will be nothing short of outstanding.

Tonight will be mostly clear and chilly by morning with lows in the upper 20’s to low 30’s with near calm winds.

High pressure over the Great Lakes, in concert with another high over southwestern Wyoming will control our weather through the day Tuesday, and light westerly winds will bring mild highs of near 70 to most areas with plenty of sun, so there will be no weather problems going to the polls.

But a dry cold front will move through Tuesday night, and a wind shift to the north will occur under mostly clear skies. Lows will drop to near 30.

By Wednesday, high pressure dropping out of southwestern Canada will cause breezy conditions, and highs will stay near 60. This same high will control the weather through the end of the week, bringing cooler highs in the 50’s but still with plenty of sun.

But by Saturday, this high will shift to the south and east of Greater Nebraska, and southerly winds will once again bring milder temperatures with highs approaching 70 again with sunshine, so a beautiful fall weekend looks to be in storm.

Looking ahead, there are still no signs of any really cold air and certainly no snow, but now that we are into November, we can expect to see some temperatures that are more winterlike by the end of the month. In addition, this is the month we typically see our first snow, and if and when that materializes we will certainly keep you posted.
