Evening at 73.2 and Clear: Election Day Eases to 34 Percent, Wednesday Holds at 68
Pensacola closes Election Day eve mild and clear. Tuesday keeps trending drier in the feed, Wednesday keeps its front, and the cool air behind it is still aimed at the homecoming weekend.
Monday is ending the way voters would have ordered it. The station's live weather feed (Open-Meteo), read at 5:38 p.m., put Pensacola at 73.2 degrees, feeling like 74.8, under clear skies, closing a day that topped out at 76.5 with a rain chance of just 4 percent - a dry, mild Election Day eve across Escambia and Santa Rosa.
Election Day itself moved a little further toward dry. Tuesday now reads overcast with a high of 77.5 and a low of 69.6, and its rain chance in the feed eased to 34 percent - down from 39 percent in the mid-afternoon file and 47 percent at midday. The National Weather Service's North Escambia forecast is in the same direction for the voting hours: a 20 percent chance of showers after noon under partly sunny skies near 80, with the better rain chance - 50 percent, with thunderstorms possible - holding off until after 9 p.m., once the polls have closed.
Wednesday remains the week's weather day. The feed holds Wednesday's rain chance at 68 percent on a warm high of 84.1 ahead of the cold front, and the Weather Service calls showers likely with a possible thunderstorm at 70 percent, the severe threat low. Behind the front, the feed cools steadily - Thursday 83.5, Friday 81.2 with a drizzle chance of 17 percent, Saturday 81.8, and Sunday down to 76.2 with a low of 59 - while the Weather Service brings inland nighttime lows into the 40s by Friday night, the cool backdrop for the Blue Angels homecoming weekend.
