NWS forecasts dry and mild weather for Election Day along I-95
Rain chances rise later this week as unsettled patterns move into the Northeast, though Tuesday remains largely clear.

The National Weather Service predicts dry and mild conditions for Election Day across much of the I-95 corridor.
Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-to-upper 60s in many cities on Sunday, November 1, with sunshine dominating the early part of the week. Most locations will see mostly sunny skies on Tuesday, November 3, with warmer-than-average temperatures. The forecast keeps conditions dry through Tuesday night before the weather pattern shifts.
AccuWeather reports that comfortable conditions will persist along much of the East Coast during this period. Their maps indicate that the main storm activity will remain farther west, keeping the coastal region relatively calm during the voting period.
The central United States faces a different outlook. Rain and thunderstorms could complicate travel to polling places in that region. AccuWeather warns that severe storms may produce damaging winds and scattered power outages in parts of the Mississippi Valley.
Wednesday, November 4, will remain comfortable and dry. The weather turns wetter later in the week. Mostly cloudy skies and periods of rain are expected on both Thursday, November 5, and Friday, November 6, as an unsettled pattern moves into the Northeast.
