Weather

A storm system will move from the Northeast into New England on Tuesday, resulting in a soggy Election Day. The combination of rain, which may be heavy at times, and gusty winds could disrupt travel. The wind and rain are also expected to bring down leaves, clogging storm drains and producing slippery roads.

Strong winds will affect the Great Lakes and the Upper Midwest. Parts of Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin can expect snow. Rain will mix with snow in Wisconsin and extend through Michigan.

The storm is also expected to produce severe weather across the Middle Atlantic. Damaging winds and flash flooding may occur, with thunderstorms from southeastern Pennsylvania to North Carolina. Thunderstorms will extend across South Carolina and Georgia to the Gulf Coast, including the Florida Panhandle and southern Louisiana. Despite dangerous lightning and isolated downpours, these storms are expected to be less severe.

Tennessee and Indiana to the central states should be dry. Cool air will continue to expand farther south across the Plains. Rain and snow showers are expected from Washington to Wyoming. It will be dry in the Southwest.

FOCUS: Snow Spreads Into the Plains Midweek

A quick-moving storm is expected to bring rain and snow to the central Plains later Wednesday night into Thursday. Snow is expected to start in the central Rockies, with some accumulation. The rain should change to wet snow in Kansas by Thursday morning.
