Only a couple of swing states are projected to experience some rain fall on Election Day, with Michigan and Wisconsin expecting to see light to moderate rainfall throughout the day on Tuesday.
Weather conditions are not expected to greatly impact voter turnout in swing states this year, according to Politico, but if it does, Democrats are more likely to suffer because rain can deter young voters, who trend more Democratic. However, more than 78 million ballots have already been cast in 47 states so far, due to early voting, CNN reported.
Most of the swing states, where polls have consistently shown former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris neck-and-neck, are expected to see sunny skies on Tuesday. But it is expected to lightly rain for most of the day in the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin. There could also be light showers in Nebraska’s swing district, Ohio, and North Carolina.
Montana is expected to experience heavy snowfall on Tuesday night, where a critical Senate race could determine whether the GOP flips the upper chamber. The snow will largely fall in the northwest corner of the state, and is expected to continue into Wednesday. Other states in the northwest, such as Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, are also expected to see snow.
Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania are expected to see sunny skies on Election Day, but Georgia could see an isolated rain shower along its coast. Maryland, which also features a big Senate race, and the Washington D.C. area are also expected to be sunny.
The central part of the United States is expected to see the most rainfall and thunderstorms on Election Day, according to the Associated Press, but the states impacted the most are either safely red, or blue, so it is not expected to have a major impact on the election.
