Rain chances for Election Day and watching Nicole

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- – It’s been a breezy start to the week and a few showers streaming in from the Atlantic. A few showers will remain possible tonight, with the highest chance south of Jacksonville. Morning lows will be in the upper 60s.

Election will feature some scattered showers, but most of the day will be dry. Winds will crank up along the coastal areas, as a Nor’easter intensifies. Highs for Election Day will be in the upper 70s.

Nicole will begin to push toward the area mid-to-late week. This will result in tropical storm force winds, bands of rain and tidal flooding along the coast and the St. Johns River. The worst of the weather will likely be Wednesday through early Friday.

Better weather returns for the weekend as Nicole exits. Expect sunshine and highs in the 60s and 70s.
