Election Day is here!

Election day is finally here, and the weather could not be nicer for everyone to get out and vote! Temperatures will be in the middle 50s when polls open in the morning at 6am, and should climb to around 77 by the afternoon. The clear warm weather will continue through the evening with temperatures falling to around 70 by the time polls close at 7pm. There should be no excuses for not getting out to vote tomorrow! Below is your election day forecast:

The beautiful weather will continue into Wednesday, when we will see highs in the middle 70s. Late in the day Wednesday, clouds will begin to overspread the region as a storm system approaches from the west. This storm system will drag a strong cold front though the area on Thursday, which will likely bring rain and thunderstorms, some of which could be strong to severe. Right now, the Storm Prediction Center has placed the St. Louis region in a slight risk area for severe weather on Thursday. Stay tuned as this storm system approaches, as any change in the timing of the front will greatly affect our chances of severe weather. After the cold front passes, cold air will rush into the region, and drop highs well below average. Highs on Friday should be in the lower 50s, if not the upper 40a, and on Saturday, we will struggle to make it out of the lower 40s for highs, with lows in the lower to middle 30s.
