Nov. 4 (UPI) — Voters throughout the country will face all kinds of weather on election day, with snow and rain forecast for the Northwest, thunderstorms from the Great Lakes to New Orleans, tropical storm activity in Florida and record warm temperatures along the East Coast.
While most voters — who will determine a slew of contests including the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris — will experience mild weather, rain gear is recommended for those standing in lines Tuesday in the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as in northwestern Pennsylvania.
One area to watch is the southeastern United States, according to AccuWeather which announced Monday that Tropical Storm Rafael in the Caribbean Sea “has formed and will strengthen into a hurricane in the coming days.”
While the hurricane will not impact the United States on election day, it could threaten Florida, Louisiana and Texas later in the week and into the weekend.
