STORM AROUND ELECTION DAY...AND OTHER FORECAST ISSUES

PREDICTABILITY OF FORECAST PERIOD: MEDIUM

The last overview is basically on track.

First, the weekend is looking quite chilly, with readings near 50 both Saturday into Sunday. The winds will be breezy on Saturday, making it feel like it's in the lower 40s or lower during the day.

INTELLICAST WINDS


ACCUWEATHER SLIDE:



Second, the storm for early next week is looking more and more like it's a Tuesday/Wednesday problem. A cold, very chilly storm is in the offing if it tracks near us; based on the latest data, the prospects are increasing. 

As noted before, it will not be anywhere near the historic storm we just experienced; rather, it'll be more of a typical, fall nor'easter. The likely affects are going to be a cold,  very chilly rainfall, with perhaps some inland wintry precipitation. Snow may be seen in the air (mixed with primarily rain) in NYC on Wednesday.



The actual weather on Election Day is not likely to affect voter turnout.
