Nevada Election Day Weather Forecast is Picture Perfect
If you’re heading to the polls in Nevada, you’ll want to know the weather forecast. Election Day is moments away, and as always, storms and any inclement weather could make it more difficult to get to the polls. If you have friends and family voting around the country, you might be curious to learn about what the country will face on Election Day when it comes to weather, too.
Nevada Election Day Weather Forecast
In Nevada, according to the Weather Channel, the state is expected to have very nice weather. The experts predict really picture-perfect conditions, with partly cloudy skies and highs around 70 in Las Vegas and throughout the state. It doesn’t get any better than that. Oh, and there’s a zero percent chance of rain.
So, how much does weather impact voting the day of an election? Obviously, if the weather is terrible, that makes it more difficult to vote. But, if you’re really motivated, you’ll do whatever it takes to get to the polls. Conventional wisdom does say that if the weather is terrible, of course, it will impact voter turnout in a negative way. But, regardless, that doesn’t seem to be the case this year, because there’s nothing too crazy in the weather forecast.
“Most studies show the impact is relatively small, but even small numbers can make a big difference in close elections like this year’s presidential matchup and others in recent years,” the experts at the Weather Channel state.
Weather forecasters are predicting that most of the country will enjoy mild weather on Tuesday, November 5. However, some spots will likely get rain, and for those super north, snow. So, it’s a mixed bag, and some of the swing states in the Midwest could be looking at a bit dicer weather than in other parts of the country. The key here is that some spots will see a “bit dicer” weather, because it’s really not going to be anything too terrible. That’s good for those who want to hit the polls on voting day.
“Election Day weather on Tuesday will include rain for some – including key swing states – and that has impacted turnout on the final day of voting in past years,” the Weather Channel states. “The key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin could see rain, at times, along with gusty winds associated with the cold front.” As for snow, the only snow showers possible are in the northern and central Rockies, according to the Weather Channel.
