I was not going to do this again this year and since Laccuweather started with the longer period of forecasts it seemed really pointless. Well, coming from a farming community as a kiddo, I am still tuned into the weather more than many folks. We are now approaching the 10 day forecast period where models tend to have relevancy
not necessarily accuracy, but start to let you see the gross trends.
So, the norms for the race weekend are a low of 49F and high of 70F. This produces an average temp for race day of 59F. The current 10 outlook is as follow:
NWS
7-Day forecast
Weather
5k 54F No Forecast
Half No forecast
Full No Forecast
Wunderground
5k 59F Hi 72F
Half 59F Fog No forecast
Full No Forecast
Accuweather
5k 59F Hi 75F Rain >50%
Half 57F Hi 79F Showers >50%
Full 57F Hi 79F
Note, even if we get rain, it generally is not a real drencher. Accumulations are less than a half-inch and usually less than a tenth for an all day event. Obviously, there are exceptions but remember, this is the middle of the dry season.
