A cold front snaking across the nation’s midsection will bring rain chances to a number of battleground states on Election Day, though severe weather isn’t expected to significantly disrupt voting Tuesday.

Rain is likely in Wisconsin and Michigan as the front progresses eastward, beginning Tuesday morning near the Mississippi River, moving into the Ohio and Tennessee river valleys by nightfall.

East of the front — think Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia in the swing-state universe — dry and unseasonably warm weather will prevail. Out west, on the cooler side of the front, it will be chilly but rain-free.
