### Alabama Update: November 7, 2024

#### Election Results and Turnout
The state of Alabama has concluded its General Election for 2024, with unofficial results now available on AlabamaVotes.gov. According to Secretary of State Wes Allen, the election process was praised for its transparency and security. A total of 2,263,627 ballots were cast, representing a 58.52 percent voter turnout, excluding provisional ballots which will be reviewed and finalized on November 12.

Secretary Allen commended local election officials, including probate judges, sheriffs, circuit clerks, and Boards of Registrars, for their diligent work in ensuring a seamless and secure voting experience. Poll workers were also recognized for their long hours and commitment to the election process.

### Political Shifts
Alabama saw a notable shift in its presidential election results, with the state moving about 3% toward President-Elect Donald Trump compared to previous elections. This shift is largely attributed to a decline in Democratic voter numbers.

### Weather
In addition to the political landscape, Alabama is experiencing unseasonably warm weather for November, with an increase in showers expected late in the weekend. This unusual warmth continues to be a topic of interest for residents and weather watchers alike.

### Outlook for the Next 24 Hours
In the coming day, several key developments are expected:

- **Finalization of Provisional Ballots**: While the unofficial results are out, the focus will shift to reviewing and finalizing provisional ballots by November 12. This process will help in confirming the final voter turnout and election outcomes.
- **Transition and National Address**: As President-Elect Donald Trump's transition team begins staffing the upcoming administration, President Biden is expected to address the nation following the election results. This address will likely touch on the transition process and the future of the country.
- **Weather Updates**: Residents should remain aware of the weather forecast, as the warm spell and anticipated showers may impact daily activities and outdoor plans.

Overall, Alabama is in a period of transition, both politically and meteorologically, with significant attention on the election outcomes and the upcoming administrative changes at the national level.
