00:00Well, Election Day is almost upon us here this Tuesday.

00:05Let's take a look at some forecasts, a big picture forecast.

00:08There will be some thunderstorms that linger into the morning hours and a few storms that

00:11pop up into the afternoon in the lower Mississippi Valley.

00:14Looking at the nation as a whole though, some of the most disruptive weather will be in

00:18the lower Mississippi Valley and we'll also have slightly less populated areas here, some

00:22northern Rockies and central Rockies, snow building in as well.

00:26Eventually, this will sneak into Denver too.

00:29But again, we'll be watching the timing of it here.

00:32We're going to get into some details, especially focusing on some swing states.

00:36Here you can see into areas around Arizona, we're running a little cool here, but generally

00:41dry in these areas.

00:42Temps just a bit below average.

00:44Into Nevada, similar theme to no surprise here being in the southwest, look how cool

00:48Elko is, 44.

00:49Your average high is 57, so about 13 degrees below normal.

00:53But with dry weather, I don't think many will have a difficult time getting out to the polls

00:57here in most of Nevada.

00:58As we take a big step to the east, we're going to go from the southwest to the north

01:02central into Pennsylvania and then into a couple of southeastern swing states.

01:06Wisconsin forecast here, showers and some thunderstorms here.

01:09We're going to have some wet weather and we're warm in these areas compared to average.

01:13Now, Eau Claire, not too far from the norm, but look at Madison, 16 degrees above average

01:18here, 15 above into Milwaukee.

01:20The cooler air is reaching the northwestern part of the state earliest.

01:23One more step east into Michigan, we've got some showers here on Election Day and temperatures

01:27way above average, 20 degrees above the norm in Grand Rapids.

01:31No snowflakes to be found.

01:32This is certainly more like a September shower setup.

01:36Into Pennsylvania, here we have very warm weather, near record warmth in some spots,

01:4082 on Election Day in Pittsburgh.

01:42Very warm west of the mountains, but even east of the mountains we're running very warm.

01:45And into Georgia, we have some showers in Augusta and Savannah, nothing as disruptive

01:50near the coast.

01:51Into Florida, a few showers in Miami and Jacksonville.
