With the 2024 Election Day now within 10-days, our weather forecasts can provide a better picture of the upper-level pattern, but not provide much help in determining a new President. All signs point to a strong ridge over the Eastern U.S. meaning mild weather — well above freezing — and any precipitation would likely be light and liquid.

There will be a period of lower-predictability past Day 10 as a developing Typhoon Kong-Rey in the Western Pacific disrupts the North Pacific jet stream during extratropical transition. However, until then, we have a rather repeatable pattern that maintains abnormally warm and dry weather across the eastern half of the Lower 48.
