 Election day is cool with a mix of sun and clouds.

It's election day So get out there and vote if you want to!

Here's a look Look at the surface chart and current radar image.

We have a moderately strong area of low pressure sitting up over the Canadian Maritimes, along with a couple of cold fronts attached to it. Behind the cold fronts off the coast, We have seasonally cool air drifting through on a north northwest flow. Winds across the region Are very breezy as high pressure passes through with gusts running as high as 35-45 miles an hour. The winds are making it feel cooler outside then it actually is. The radar shows most of the region is dry with a few scattered rain showers over Northern New York State and across northern into central New England. As we had towards evening the winds will still remain breezy but the winds will be diminishing as we go through the evening into tonight.

Tomorrow we are going to have a fast moving Clipper move through the region with a leading warm front and dragging another cold front. As the reward from advances through the region Temperatures warm Up a bit Along with the chance for some isolated rain showers associated with the frontal passage. Then we will see the trailing cold front move across the region For later Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. Bringing more in the way of widespread scattered rain showers and gusty winds bringing in cooler air. Sustained winds for later Wednesday into Thursday look to be 20 to 30 miles an hour, with gust of 40-60 miles an hour quite possible. Localized wind gust could be even over 60 mph, this will especially be true in the higher elevations. As the cold air condition continues to flow into the region we will likely see rain change over to snow across Northern New York State, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, Snowfall amount Of a few winches will be possible In the higher elevations of these areas. There could even be a bit of snow in the Berkshires, Catskills and perhaps even into the Poconos, but amounts should be quite limited. Areas downwind of Lake Erie in Lake Ontario Likely see At least some lake effect snow as that colder air moves over the warmer lakes.

High pressure will be moving in for the second half of Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will remain cool but generally the region should stay dry. Then on Saturday another cold front will come through the region bringing scattered rain showers and higher elevation snow showers. Another area of low pressure (Currently sitting north of the Aleutians) with a cold front will drop into the Pacific Northwest then head south and east. On Saturday this storm is going to drop down into the Central Plains. Exactly how far south This storm will track is a bit unclear. But right now, It looks to track over Pennsylvania into southern New England. As this tracks through the region Sunday, the region will have scattered rain showers and higher elevation snow showers and flurries. Those were the best chance for accumulating snow will be across central and northern New York State, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The Adirondacks, Greens and Whites could end up With at least moderate snowfall accumulations. The Berkshires and higher terrain across central New England could see some limited accumulations. It is looking increasingly possible that there could be some snow accumulation even in the lower elevations across northern parts of our region. For Monday as the cold front slides away we will have a series of shortwave troughs move through allowing even colder temperatures to move into the region, along with scattered  rain  showers and scattered higher elevation  accumulating snow showers. Monday through at least Wednesday It's going to be very cold with temperature feeling very December like. 

Over the weekend into Wednesday I expect the lake effect snow machine will be going Bringing the chance for moderate to perhaps very localized heavy  lake effect snow for areas downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. We're looking out several days Who sees what will depend on the actual storm track. So there is time for at least some of this to change.

The pattern is quickly switching over to a winter time pattern. Y 'all especially those in northern parts of the region, might want to start thinking about getting your snow tires mounted.

The overall pattern Looks to stay active across the northeast and middle Atlantic through at least mid-november Looks to stay active across the northeast and middle Atlantic through at least mid November.
