Despite the national political mood, Tuesday’s Election Day weather forecast looks to be one of the more tranquil in recent years.

The National Weather Service said the nation is enjoying a “remarkably quiet weather pattern with precipitation limited to the northern corners."

Cold air over the East is predicted to give way to a general warm up across the entire nation by Wednesday, by which time the nation could know whether President Donald Trump has been reelected or defeated by Democrat Joe Biden.

A cold front settled into the Northeast and southern Florida Monday morning, bringing cold air centered over the Mississippi River Valley and daily highs 20 to 30 degrees below average.

A secondary cold front is expected to move through the Northeast Monday night into Tuesday.

Temperatures will remain 10-20 degrees above normal across the West but stretch over to the Plains and be 20-30 degrees above normal.
