Newark Weather: A Dry, Mild Election Week, With Rain Chances Returning Friday
Newark heads into election week dry and mild, with a high near 68 degrees and no rain expected on Election Day, before rain chances return late in the week.
Newark starts Sunday cold and clear, with temperatures in the low 40s overnight and a high of about 61 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, according to the station's live Open-Meteo feed. The chance of rain Sunday is just 1 percent, extending the dry stretch that closed out October.
The work week warms up. Monday reaches about 65 degrees with a low near 40, and Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3, is the warmest dry day of the stretch: a high near 68 degrees, a low near 52, and a 0 percent chance of rain in the current feed — comfortable conditions for voters heading to the polls between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Wednesday stays mild at about 69 degrees before the pattern changes. Clouds build Thursday with a 36 percent chance of rain, and Friday brings the week's best rain chance, about 52 percent, with light drizzle possible, highs near 67 and lows near 60.
Saturday cools to about 62 degrees with rain chances still near 50 percent. The practical takeaway for Newark: get the outdoor errands and the voting done in the dry first half of the week, and keep an umbrella handy from Thursday on.
