Election Weather!

Time for those five-day forecasts to kick in.

The Weather Channel has a nifty page to help voters and prognosticators alike.

You ask: the does the weather _really_ matter?

There's some evidence that it does.

A study in the 2007 Journal of Politics went back and matched weather at more than 20,000 locations to results in the presidential election that year -- 14 cycles of presidential elections -- and if there's more precipitation than normal, Republicans benefit.

So -- where's it going to rain or snow on Election Day?

MIAMI -- scattered showers.

KANSAS CITY -- scattered showers.

SPRINGFIELD, MO  -- rain.

Ohio, Pennsylvania, the rest of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia -- sunshine expected.
