Your Politics Extra Weather Report

Politics Extra has no five doppler radars sweeping the Tristate, but we do have the National Weather Service website, so we can tell you the long-range Election Day forecast for Ohio's major cities.

It matters, too, because nothing makes a bigger impact on voter turnout than how the weather is on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

Basically, it boils down to this: Dry and partly cloud south of Interstate 70, chance of rain north, but not an all-day washout.

Here's the latest skinny:

Cincinnati: Partly cloudy, high near 56. Slight chance of showers in the evening, but probably after the polls close.

Columbus: Same as Cincinnati

Cleveland (Democrats take note!): Mostly cloudy, 40 percent chance of showers, but no all-day rain. High near 54, which is downright balmy for Cleveland this time of the year.

We'll update closer to election day....
