The weather forecast for Election Day in Milwaukee calls for rain and storms throughout the day

If early voting is any indication, voters should prepare for possible long lines at polling stations. Because lines may be out the door, Milwaukee voters may want to bring an umbrella in addition to a photo ID (and proof of residency if you need to register or re-register to vote).

According to the National Weather Service, Milwaukee may see rain throughout the day on Tuesday, with a chance of thunderstorms in the early morning hours. This is due to a system moving across the plains into the upper Great Lakes region, said Kevin Wagner, NWS meteorologist based in Milwaukee-Sullivan. Milwaukee can expect temperatures in the high 60s for most of the day Tuesday, dropping to the upper 50s in the evening.

The chance of precipitation will be highest between 11:00 p.m. Monday and 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, peaking at nearly 100% early Tuesday morning. According to the weather service, moderate to heavy rainfall is expected, with the heaviest rainfall occurring Monday night into Tuesday morning.
