Unlike politicians back east, one thing hopefuls for government offices don’t usually have to worry about on election day in Southern California is adverse weather holding down the voter turnout.
And Tuesday’s weather for this election day apparently won’t create any turnout problem.
It may be a bit cooler than many Southern Californians care for, but temperatures should be mild through most of the day after low clouds and fog burn off, especially along the coast.
The National Weather Service forecast for Los Angeles and vicinity on Tuesday calls for low clouds and fog in the morning then sunny. Highs from the mid 60s to around 70 at the beaches to the mid to upper 70s inland.
