*** SUPER TUESDAY UPDATE from the desk of Jeff Ranieri ***

While it was raining a bit this morning in the Northeast it didn't keep people from the polls at my election spot in NYC. I spoke with a few volunteers keeping things in order and they mentioned the turnout by 9am, was busier than they could remember from previous Super Tuesday's of past. The weather still may play more of a part today than candidates would like. Intense storms could develop and may be so severe that some may not be able to venture out and cast a vote... More on this below.

First, I definitely geeked out in an all American way this morning and took a few pictures! Here is some of the busy scene from this morning and me right after the vote.

Meanwhile, if you are planning to vote this afternoon you should use extreme caution from Tennessee to Northern Louisiana. Severe weather is expected to outbreak this afternoon with the potential for large tracked tornados, gusty winds & hail. More in our severe weather outlook @ :09 and :39 after the hour available on the national stream video section.

Talk with you soon - Jeff
