Will It Be Raining When I Go to Vote?

Rain may dampen spirits today if you are stuck in line waiting to vote, but just bring an umbrella and a rain coat. The chance of rain drops after 9 a.m., so you should be able to stay dry and still vote.

When is the driest time likely to vote? Between 3 and 6 p.m. according to the National Weather Service forecast, but that's probably when the lines will be longest, too. Try hitting the polls as early as possible this morning.

The Nation Weather Service forecast predicts rain is likely, mainly before 9 a.m. The chance of precipitation starts at 60 percent, and drops to 40 percent by noon. But it takes a bigger dip between 2 and 3 p.m., dropping to 19 percent before hitting 14 percent at 6 p.m. For those still in line at 7 p.m., don't worry: the chance of rain only slightly increases to 20 percent. The new precipitation is only going to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.

The temperature will reach a high of 50 degrees by noon, dipping only slightly to the high 40s by the time polls close at 7 p.m. Grab an extra layer of warm clothing to wear in case you have to wait in line to vote.
