>> we were talking about this last week so did i some digging. first, here isth w for election day. up around thereat lakes, through the mid-atlantic area, that includes us here. lunch time through the early afternoon sohours. strong thunderstorms in parts of the southeast. the gulf states through mid-atlantic. some really great news. most of the weather across the country will be relatively quiet. still up around the great lakes. in parts of the upper northeast. how does the weather impact voting and does it impact voting? first reached out to the weather gang. they said in general from their research which is looking various studies on the topic, it shows rain and snow do decrease weather turnout.

here interesting statistics that they were reading over. one inch of rain equals less than 1% decline in turnout. so unless it is a very close election, they're saying not all that much does weather impact voter turnout. overall, bad weather favors republicans. however they also said more recent studies say that bad weather might favor democrats. so all over the map. i foundes thisrch article public learn in the 2013. what this studyooked at was how could weather impact voters who already show up? so with bad weather, they said votee are less inclined to for a risky candidate. with good weather, they're more inclined to go with the risky candidate. i thought that was pretty interesting. what does this mean for tomorrow? weather wil play a role but it

is unclear how much of a role. and we are expecting some severe weather around the midday hour, on that e much more coming up. >> all right. interesting information. there thank you. while many of us will be heading out into the weath tomorrow, more than 1 million people in our area have aiready cast t ballots. early voting is surging across the country and we' no different here. more than 52,000 votes already cast in the district. that's almost double the number of early votes in the last mid-term election. 14. irginia has nearly tripled its absentee vote. remember, virginia doesn't have early voting. maryland has nearly doubled. and as of this rgrning, west ia is up to 180,000 votes. t

almoce as many as 2014. it is important to say weon't know if that means turnout could more her tomorrow or if people are simply taking advantage of the opportunity. a news4 i-team investigation every parent should watch. the knew way kids are sneaking out after mom and dad fall as leep. >> even middlechlers are doing it. stwims sometimes with no way to track them. >> reporter: it is not unusual to see a line of uber cars. but on the dark streets, the suburbs, the news4 i-team found they're picking up middle school kids. how many of you have taken an uber lat at night? all of you.
