While Election Day won't be a washout, there will be wet conditions through the day with steadier rain overspreading the area from west to east beginning mid-morning, with the heavier rain beginning around noontime. (See image above.)

Election Day, which started off with patchy fog, will also see a chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon.
