Misc. | Election Day Weather Forecast

If you buy the old rule that weather hurts turnout (and thereby hurts challengers, and in this case, Kerry) it looks like Mother Nature might conspire to make tomorrow even more interesting: the forecast calls for rain in Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Houston, New Orleans, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, nearly all of Ohio, and evening showers in Boston.

Via a summary at Weather.com:

  • Carolinas, Georgia, Florida: Warm and dry.
  • Eastern Texas, western and northern Louisiana, southern and eastern Arkansas and western Tennessee: Rain will be widespread, locally heavy.
  • Texas Panhandle and parts of West Texas: Locally accumulating snow (!).
  • Extreme southern New England southward through New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and Virginia: Dry.
  • Northern Maine: A mix of rain and snow showers is likely.
  • Rest of Northeast: Rain late, but not in Philly or New York.
  • Northwest states into Montana: Rain and moutnain snow.
  • So Cal and Arizona: Windy.
  • New Mexico: Rain.
  • Ohio Valley and extreme southern Missouri: Rain much of the day.
  • Southeastern Michigan, southeastern Indiana and much of Ohio: Rain.
  • Plains and Upper Midwest: Sun.

rain in Seattle and Portland? The rest of the country? Snow in the Rocky Mountains? In November? Oh my gawd,,,,, no way!
It’s not that kind of weather that hurts the polls, b.a.b., it’s snow in Hartford.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
