This Election Day, Utahns and the rest of the nation will "set a plain man's common sense against the pedant's pride."
That much hasn't changed since John Greenleaf Whittier penned those words in 1852. What always changes, though, is the weather and this Tuesday will see mostly sunny skies with high temperatures in the mid- to upper-60s along the Wasatch Front.
The polls in southern Utah will open to an even balmier forecast: highs in the low-80s under sunny autumn skies.
Air quality will be graded "Green,' or healthy, statewide. So, no excuse for not exercising your right to cast a ballot now, is there?
Salt Lake City is pegged for a high of 70 Tuesday, up 4 degrees from Monday's forecast; Ogden looks for 69 and 65 degrees, respectively; Provo 71 and 67; Logan 67 and 65; Wendover 65 and 63; Duchesne 66 and 61; Cedar City 72 and 69; St. George 82 and 80; and Moab 69 and 67 degrees.
