Newark Weather: A Clear, Mild Election Day Near 70, Then Rain Chances Build to Friday
The station's live feed shows 51 degrees and clear on Monday night, Election Day at 70 with only a 3 percent rain chance, fog Wednesday, and the week's best rain chance — 69 percent with drizzle — arriving Friday.
Newark heads into Election Day with clear, mild weather and no rain expected to interfere with voting, according to the station's live Open-Meteo feed, read on Monday night. At the time of the reading it was 51 degrees and clear in Newark, feeling like 46, after a Monday that reached 69.2 degrees with a low of 42.3 and a precipitation chance of just 1 percent.
Election Day on Tuesday is forecast overcast but warm, with a high of 70.3 degrees, a low of 44.4 and a precipitation chance of 3 percent, the feed shows. Wednesday turns foggy with a high of 71.9 and a low of 50.8, and Thursday stays near 71 with a low of 60.4 and a rain chance rising to 27 percent.
The pattern changes late in the week. Friday brings drizzle in the feed's outlook, with a high of 69.8, a low of 57.8 and a 69 percent precipitation chance — the highest of the week. Saturday cools sharply to a high of 57.8 with a 61 percent rain chance, and Sunday is the driest and coolest day of the stretch at 52.8 degrees with an 11 percent chance.
This file updates the station's Election Week outlook with Monday night's live feed; it does not repeat the frost advisory that led the weekend file, because Monday night's low and clear skies carry no frost wording in the current feed. Voters heading to the polls Tuesday between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. should expect a dry, mild day.
