Good afternoon.

I'm kay blevins thanks for joining us.

Polls are now open across the country and in many places, voters are standing in long lines to make their voices heard.

Those votes will be added to the roughly 100 million early votes.

In the final hours of the 2020 election, president trump and former vice president joe biden are making their final push to rally their supporters.

Skyler henry reports.

:48 - :53.

:58 - 1:01.

1:02 - 1:05.

1:06 - 1:19.

1:37 - 1:39.

Package: president trump returned to the white house in the middle of the night after holding 5 rallies in 4 battleground states.

He has promised the crowds from his rallies will show up to the polls on election day like a red wave.

Earlier he called into fox news.

"i think the polls are, you know, suppression polls and i think we'll have victory but only when there's victory.

I mean, there's no reason to play games.

And i think we'll have victory.

I think, you know i look at it as being a very, very solid chance of winning."

Vice president biden headed to scranton, pennsylvania and visited his childhood home with his two granddaughters .

Last night, he made a final pitch to voters in the battleground state.

The vast majority of americans are done with the chaos, the corruption, the failure from connecticut to california, polls are now open across the country.

"i think everyone needs to get out and vote, make it happen."

"this is a very important election, it's going to change the history of our country."

"here in alexandria, virginia, and in polling locations across the country, election officials are working to prioritize the health and safety of voters with coronavirus protocols, including signs to encourage social distancing and mask wearing and plexiglass partitions."

Vote counting is underway across the country including inside the pennsylvania convention center.

The heads of homeland security and election security reported some typical technology disruptions in ohio, missouri, georgia and new york.

While they have confidence the vote will be secure, they say it's still early.

"we're not out of the woods yet."

It's unclear if a winner will be declared tonight...as some states could take days to count all the ballots.

President trump has threatened legal action to prevent counting votes past election day, raising tension for supporters on both sides.

Early election results are expected to start rolling in shortly after 7pm eastern time.

President trump will spend election night at the white house.

Former vice president biden will be in wilmington, delaware.

Lets take a look at some other polling locations in the tennessee valley... the estimated wait time at the mountain creek church of christ is an hour and 20 minutes.... as you can see the line is wrapped around the building...special thanks to our traffic reporter matt fields for sending us this video.

Voters still have several races to decide on today including the u-s senate.

That's between republican bill hagerty and democrat that's between republican bill hagerty and democrat marquita bradshaw.

Hagerty has been endorsed by president trump.

He traveled across the state yesterday campaigning with u-s senator marsha blackburn.

Hagerty likes where he stands as we approach election day.

"i'm feeling very good about where we're positioned for election day here, but i'm not taking anything for granted.

I'm getting out and working hard for every single vote i can earn here in tennessee."

Hagerty's opponent marquita bradshaw was in chattanooga over the weekend.

She's an environmental justice activist and has been endorsed by senators bernie sanders and elizabeth warren.

Her manager thinks she's going to shock the volunteer state.

When marquita first won the primary most people thought that she didn't have a chance with that.

She definitely won that and i think even when she won the primary and moved into the general there was still a lot of people who said 'you know what, she can't win.'

But i think that her efforts, the strongest field game that this state has seen from a progressive and modern times that tennessee is a battle ground state.

Once again people are going to wake the day after election day to a huge surprise with marquita bradshaw being the winner the two are vying for republican senator lamar alexander's seat, who is not seeking re-election.

The real showdown will be in georgia where democrats have a chance to steal two seats in the u-s senate.

Imcumbent david perude is taking on democrat jon ossoff and libertarian shane hazel.

The other u-s senate race in georgia is to fill the seat left by senator jonny isakson.

Incumbent kelly loeffler is challenged by republican doug collins and democrat reverend warnock.

In georgia, if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote then there will be a run-off election.

That election would take place on january 5th.

A high turnout of voters is also expected in the peach state cast your ballot afternoon.

Jef and i.

It certainly is gay.

I would vote for weather like this every day of the year sunshine just a few clouds here and there.

Here is the perspective from the soddy-dais area.

Part of the epb fiberoptics weather network hard to pick out a single cloud does not many of those to go around.

We do have a lot of sunshine you want clouds you got a go well u to the northeast, even further than that to pick up any sort of precipitation temperatures warmer 57 here downtown right now and that's as warm as we got all day on monday.

What little there is basically trace amounts and it' not the ragweed that we have been so use to it's mainly cedar we do have some changes over th next seven days.

As we head int november.

You think it would be getting cooler, but it won't, at least for a while.

32 percent humidity a little bit of her breeze out of the north and northeast 30 poin 37 on the barometer earlier this morning for a good four hour stretch.

Chicago is doing a little bit better than us temperature wise were a little bit about work city 68's out in dallas.

Couple of areas of high pressure continuing to rule the roost fo us number one just were southeast number two just were south and west.

Later on this afternoon 67 degrees by the way, is our typical high for this time of year.

The thursday morning, it gets a little bit's we won't say warmer but a little less chilly.

Most areas 40 to 45 and then heading into friday at noon getting ready for the weekend.

Friday morning will be around 50.

It'll be a good 20 degree warm-up is not better friday afternoon getting ready for the rush hour a few more clouds probably rolling through saturday.

I don't see any realistic chance of rain probably until the middle part of next week.

It looks like wednesday will be that day.

But if everything continues to hold together.

This could be a prett good ring all producer and after this clears the area either late thursday or friday.

That means we'll get followed up by a pretty good cool down yet again.

Now, again, that's a long time in the future towards the tail end of next week.
