Forecast: Pleasant Weather for Election Day

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakotans should have a pleasant day to get out and vote, but the weather is expected to turn soon after the polls close on Election Day.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for high temperatures statewide in the upper 40s and lower 50s Tuesday, with little wind.

But a system moving down from Canada is expected to bring cooler temperatures and the possibility of snow late Tuesday and Wednesday.

Meteorologist Todd Hamilton says there's the potential for about an inch of snow to accumulate in the northwest, north central and east central parts of the state. The Minot area could have slick roads for the Wednesday morning commute.

Other areas could see a dusting of snow with no accumulation.

Friday will bring another chance of snow in some areas.
