Weather Forecast for Tuesday, Nov. 3

Have decided that it's going to be a great afternoon for Southern California. We've got sunshine, a few clouds, no excuses to get out there and vote today. Temperatures, look at how nice later today is going to turn out. We've got 70s in the forecast, slightly below normal, so I'll call it mild. Sunrise at 614 this morning, and I think the polls open at 7 o'clock, so we've got good conditions there. They are sunset at 4.58 this evening. Polls will stay open until then and beyond as well. We've got to look at the upper levels of the atmosphere. An area of low pressure is swinging by Southern California. Yeah. Bringing our temperatures just a little bit below what's average, a little cooler today than even yesterday as the stronger sea breeze pushes in. And if you're voting in the northern half of the state, we're talking about Sacramento to the Bay Area, that area of low pressure with that associated cold front is actually going to bring in rain. So rain for the northern tier and more sunshine, a few clouds in Southern California and across the country. We've got your weather covered as well. The Pacific Northwest, we actually have 36 degrees and mainly dry in Seattle with some clouds pulling through. An area of low pressure is swinging through a good portion of the plains as well as portions of the Midwest. Chicago could be picking up some rainfall, heavy rain for St. Louis. So just a heads up there. Minneapolis at 58 degrees with the possibility of showers. The northeast, 67 degrees. Nice and cool. We have thunderstorm chances, the possibility of showers for Florida. So we'll keep eyes on that. For us here in Southern California, look at that. No rain in our forecast extending all the way through Monday. We're actually going to be picking up Winds offshore, Santa Ana will be building in, and that's going to raise our temperatures to about 81 degrees. Very possible for the coastal areas, so we'll have sunshine and drier conditions leading into this upcoming weekend. 74 degrees, a really nice afternoon, and temperatures get a bump in the heat. Saturday, Sunday especially, we've got mid-80s in the forecast. And on this election day, we've got mostly sunny conditions for valleys out towards the IE. Sunshine there, and temperatures get as warm as about 86 degrees. BY THE TAIL END OF THE WEEKEND AND DRY FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. MOUNT COMMUNITIES AT 60 DEGREES TODAY. IF YOU'RE VOTING IN BIG BEAR OR RIGHTWOOD, LOOKS GOOD. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHTS ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY CHILLY. WE'VE GOT 30S, BUT DAYTIME HIGHS CAN BE QUITE COMFORTABLE. In the high country, high deserts at 71 degrees, Palmdale, Lancaster, we've got a lot of sunshine for you today on this election day and temperatures will be swinging to very pleasant mid 70s on the way for this weekend. If that's where you live, that's where you're heading and low deserts. Palm Springs looks wonderful. We've got 81 degrees sunshine there and it does continue to be dry. We've got temperature readings right around the mid 80s and that's looking good overall on this. Voting day.
