Hey everybody, good morning. It's meteorologist Mike Kaplan here.
Temperatures today, warmer than normal.
What else is new? 62 degrees for the high.
Winds are going to pick up this afternoon
and you're going to see plenty of cloud cover.
There's a chance for a little bit of drizzle or a few sprinkles,
but rainfall or anything measurable I think
is going to be very, very unlikely.
And again, those breezes will be picking up out of the south.
Tonight, downright windy and that's going to help prop temperatures up.
So we have a high of 62 and a low of 60. Normal low today.
It's 39, just to give you an idea of how unusually warm this is.
So tomorrow, with that warm start to the day,
we make it up to 72 degrees for Election Day.
In terms of timing, the shower activity is looking increasingly likely
that the bulk of it holds off until late in the afternoon.
Maybe even more so after the polls close at night.
On Wednesday, a few showers, especially in the morning.
High of 68 degrees, still on the breezy side.
Then temperatures take a downturn.
But Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
all of those days, warmer than normal.
Maybe a chance for some showers on Sunday on a cold front,
which could bring a little bit of a cool down early next week.
Thanks for the company. Have a great day.
