Expect Blue Skies on Primary Day

Republican voters should expect smooth sailing at the polls today — at least as far as the weather is concerned.

According to forecasters at the National Weather Service’s Ruskin office, residents in Bloomingdale, Riverview, Lithia and Valrico can expect a partly cloudy day with highs in the upper 70s and lows around 50. Rain isn’t in the forecast, said meteorologist Richard Rude.

Rude said the rest of the week is shaping up to be nice, as well.

Wednesday’s weather is expected to nearly mirror Tuesday’s, but highs could climb a bit. Inland areas may see highs in the low 80s on Wednesday.

A slight chance of rain does creep into the picture on Thursday. Rude says chances for rain will only come in at 20 percent and they’ll stick around through the weekend.
