with abc news political analyst coky roberts. >> and we are looking at a mostly sunny day.

and here you go right now. this is a live look at the white house. the big question who is going to call this place home.

yeah they were up early this morning to cast their vote and we're 99.9% hillary clinton voted for herself. at the jacob javits center. ironically it has a glass ceiling. and what's the first thing donald trump did when he entered his polling place. he opened up his wallet to buy a box of cookies from a little boy. then went on to the voting b to cast his ballots with the rest of the new york voters with his wife milania right by his side. our children are listening and it's not necessarily a good thing. teachers are saying the nastiness from this election is spilling over from the classroom to the playground. their message talk to your kids.

lose. if he wins florida early and then north carolina then he's got a path to victory. so they both are in position with either one of them could be president tomorrow. >> coky we have spoke several times during this election. what do you think the legacy of this election cycle it going to >> nothing pretty. nothing nice danielle. it has not been a pleasant cycle. and the combination of the fact that since there's been a lot of name calling among the candidates and there's been a real level of nastiness at the level of the candidates combined

makes it an ugly campaign. not only do we have these huge partisan divide but we have divides among people on all kinds of levels. men and women. old and young. white and non white. college educated. not college educated. they're all deeply divided and who shows up to vote will make a big difference in who g elected but also it will make a big difference in how the country somehow comes together after all this. >> we're in the home stretch. i look forward to speaking with you once this is all over. >> well we'll be watching arizona. very interested to see what happens there. all right. so we hipped you into the manacan challenge yesterday and today see hillary clinton getting into it. she posted this video on her

president bill clinton and john bonn jovi all getting in on the manacan action. marry you're heading out to the -- maybe you're heading out to the polls or during the lunch hour. those clouds this morning clearing off and those temperatures have been warming quickly. we are running about 8 to 10 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. phoenix sky harbor certainly warmer than yesterday. remember if you were watching we were at the 70s this time yesterday. we're looking at a whole lot of 80s across the valleys with queen creek. deer valley you're up to 84. 86 in surprise and 84 also in lavine. phoenix, also sitting right at

that lunch hour. notice that temperature will keep warming a couple more degrees and we'll be up to 86 under those sunny skies. as i mentioned earlier might not be a bad idea to have a water bottle with you. you'll want to stay hydrated. it will be breezy this afternoon too. we're already feeling some of those breezes across the valley coming in generally out of the east northeast. a few spots like chandler getting some stronger sustained winds but we're also feeling some stronger wind gusts between about 20 and 25 miles an hour. and that's the case across southern arizona. those winds are really starting to kick up with gusts as high as 35 miles an hour already registering in tuscan. as we go into this afternoon central and southern arizona is where we're going to get the strongest breezes. we will see a few pockets of breezes across northwest arizona but it will be southern arizona that feels the strongest breezes

for the next few hours. they'll be stronger to our south just like we're seeing now with gustier 30 to 35 miles an hour. and that will be the key. just watch for some pockets of blowing dust and that could spernl be something to get kicked up, rather the dust if you are traveling to the south with those winds coming out of the east. something to watch for. now the wind a and kind of just sit to our southeast over the next few days. the valley will stay dry and it looks like really across the state we'll stay dry. so we saw a few high clouds early this morning. plan on sunny skies the rest of the afternoon. valley and pretty much statewide. tomorrow a few passing high clouds at times otherwise mostly sunny and dry and on thursday it looks dry too. slight chance of a sprinkle or two in southeast arizona.

not seeing big rain chances for the high country or for the valley. we do have another disturbance moving our way into sunday. but we will see a drop in temperatures as we go towards the second half of the week. i'll show you how far those temperatures will go in that 7-day forecast. thousands of ballots. flagged in maricopa county. why they're now under investigation. plus what you need to do to make sure your vote counts. >> and we are not keeping a close eye on the election results.

just watch for those dust channels along i-10. as those winds kick up especially across southern arizona. so something to use caution with. those winds have been the strongest so far down in tuscan where gusts have been at times up words of 35 miles an hour. the latest wind gusts coming in at 35 miles an hour. also we're getting strong wind gusts in spots the strongest wind gusts will be across southeast arizona today but the valley we're getting in on some of those breezes too. gusts up near chandler 22 miles an hour. but otherwise we're seeing between about 10 and 15 miles an hour sustained winds across the

we're going to warm in the mid to upper 80s this afternoon with highs being about 10 degrees above the 30-year average. so we'll climb to 80 degrees by 1:00. warm conditions, warm temperatures rather and clear skies. so not the most comfortable if you had to stand outside to cast your vote. but that's why i keep saying it might be a good idea to at least have some water handy as you can standing we lstart to see that temperature drop and then eventually back into the sets. now we are staying dry today and today's still a very warm day but we're watching a disturbance clipping by to our southeast. it's not going to bring any rain. our forecast staying dry through the end of the week. so today our forecast 89 keeping us just a couple degrees shy of the record. but i think we're going to have

there is a chance it could sneak up to 90. tomorrow, though, we'll be a little further away from the record as that temperature drops to 84. record tomorrow 88 degrees and temperatures will keep trending down as we head towards the weekend. now today across the valley those highs 88 in patch junction. 89 ffr glendale. under sunny skies, 30 or average is 79 degrees. we are going to be exactly 10 degrees above that today in we're going to make it to the low 90s in spots like yuma. not bad there but certainly above the average for this time of year. temperatures will drop into the 30s across northern arizona tonight and down into the 50s and 60s with much in the valley kicking off our wednesday in the low 60s under those clear skies. as you look at your 7-day forecast here with me. 89 for a high. tomorrow temperatures down a bit down to 84.
