Election Day in Tallahassee Will Be Warm: 82 Degrees at the High, With the Rain Chance Down to 22 Percent
Monday evening stays mild on the way to a 66-degree overnight low — and Tuesday's updated forecast is warmer and a little drier than this morning's read.
Tallahassee is heading into Election Day on a warm, mostly cloudy note. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 77.9 degrees in the city on Monday afternoon, on the way to a Monday high of 80.6 and an overnight low of 66, with only an 8 percent precipitation chance for the rest of the day.
Tuesday, Nov. 3 — Election Day — now forecasts a high of 82 degrees and a low of 68.6 under mostly cloudy skies (weather code 3), with the precipitation chance trimmed to 22 percent. That is a warmer, slightly drier read than the station's morning file carried (79.6 degrees and 28 percent), and it means voters heading to Leon County precincts between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. should plan for a warm day in line rather than a wet one — though a one-in-five rain chance is not zero, and an umbrella in the car remains cheap insurance.
The warmth holds through midweek before the pattern softens. Wednesday forecasts a high of 81 with a 19 percent rain chance, and Thursday is the week's warmest and unsettled day on the current feed — a high of 83.8 with light drizzle (code 51) and a 23 percent precipitation chance. Friday cools to a high of 76.5 with drizzle possible (code 55, 12 percent).
The weekend turns pleasant: Saturday reaches 80.5 with a low of 62.8 and a 7 percent rain chance, and Sunday cools further to a high of 76.6 and a low of 58.6 — the first genuinely crisp morning of the stretch — with a 9 percent rain chance. No severe weather and no tropical system appears anywhere in the seven-day feed.
