Weather: Record warmth for Election Day; rain showers returning to Metro Detroit during the evening

We will get a break from the rain for the majority of the day on Election Day, but the clouds will be sticking around the entire day. Rain showers will move back into the region by the time we get to the evening hours on Tuesday, as the polls are closing, and with a strong southerly flow, we are looking at record temperature as possible by the time we get to Tuesday afternoon.

We’re forecasting a high of 76° on Tuesday afternoon, that would break the record of 74° set back in 2022. With the unseasonably warm conditions, the wind will be gusty the next few days as well. Expect wind gusts upwards of 30 miles an hour possible on Monday, and going as high as 35 miles an hour on Tuesday.
