Saw that this morning and keeping my fingers crossed that this holds up. I have checked three different forecasts, and all are showing pretty much the same thing with the highs in the low 70s.

The earlier forecasts were showing a high of 83-84 and a low of 66 on Sunday,now it's a high of 72-73 and lows in the mid 50's.I know for someone coming from a cold climate it might still seem a bit warm but at least for me that would be a major difference.Seriously hoping this holds up.

Remember, though, that the race start temperature is actually going to be Saturday night's low, which I'm still seeing as low 60s. Don't expect it to be in the low 50s unless you're planning on an early morning recovery run on Monday.

Historically i've foudn weather underground to be pretty accurate. Here is a link to their forecast, hourly

Temperatures will start in the 60s prior to the race and now are only expected to reach the 70s later in the day behind the front. The majority of the race will experience temps in the 60s. Winds will be breezy at times out of the northwest around 10-15 mph and humidity values will be falling by Sunday morning as dew points will be in the 50s instead of 60s behind the front. This will lead to more comfortable running conditions so enjoy!

Hi all. Heat advisory has been posted on the RunD website. Hydrate and run smart.

Don't get lulled into thinking one start of the race forecast in the upper 50's makes the Sunday run any less hot.

Most local forecasts are still on the mid 60's start with a high in the mid to upper 70's. That means that we will be starting the race under less than ideal conditions and possibly be running through the arrival of a front. Here in FLA, a cool front brings a higher hanse of rain; which is predicted for Saturday night.

Expect the day to feel rather muggy at the start. I would bring a light throw down shirt for the start if you are still packing or make you way by the pool sometime Saturday for a blanket.

Take care hydrate well between now and the race.
