Election Day Weather Forecast Revised for Washington DC: the Fog Is Out, Overcast and 71 Are In, and Rain Builds Late in the Week
The station's live feed has dropped Election Day's fog code entirely - Tuesday now reads overcast at 70.8 degrees with a 2 percent rain chance. Wednesday peaks at 75.4 before rain chances jump to 50 percent Thursday and 49 percent Friday.
The Election Day forecast has changed in the way that matters most to voters heading out early: the fog is gone. The station's live Open-Meteo feed, read overnight, now carries Tuesday as overcast (code 3) with a high of 70.8 degrees, a low of 44.8 and a precipitation chance of just 2 percent - replacing the fog code that ran in the forecast through Monday's earlier updates. Monday itself reads overcast at 67 with a low of 44.9, and the current reading overnight is 45.6 degrees, feeling like 42.2 under overcast skies.
Wednesday is the week's warm peak: overcast, a high of 75.4 and a low of 57, with a precipitation chance of only 1 percent. The pattern then turns. Thursday's code is rain (61) at 70.6 degrees with the rain chance up to 50 percent, Friday carries rain showers (code 51) at 67.7 with a 49 percent chance, and Saturday cools sharply - rain showers, a high of just 56.2 and a low of 47.1, with a 30 percent rain chance.
Sunday steadies at 62 degrees with rain showers still in the code but the chance down to 9 percent and a low of 45.2. For Election Day itself, the practical read is simple: a dry, mild, gray Tuesday across the capital region, with no weather excuse left on the board - and the week's real rain held until after the votes are in.
