I can tell you this – if we learned anything from this weekend we learned that Mother Nature is a huge fan of endurance running events :-). As a runner (or one who pretends to be) I can’t think of better conditions than we saw for the race weekend. Cool temperatures in the morning and then plenty of sun to enjoy the parks and loosen those muscles for the afternoon. Congratulations to everyone who participated and maybe I’ll see some of you next month for the Princess which I’m way behind on my training for!
Conditions from the weekend will continue right into the start of your week – so expect a cool start with temperatures in the low 50s and then we’ll warm right back up into the mid (perhaps even upper) 70s (depending on afternoon cloud cover). One thing to watch out for will be patchy fog (could be dense in some areas) so if you are driving to the parks or even to work – allow a little extra time just in case. That said, the fog shouldn’t be a concern much after 7-8am.
Sunny skies look to continue into Tuesday but this is where some models are calling for different things. I am going to get you emotionally prepared for the potential for showers on Wednesday (starting sometime Tuesday night) – I won’t call for a washout but if you have some ponchos – pack em – you may need them at the park – but since I always like to think the glass is half full you may see less lines (even though this is one of the best times of year to attend as crowds are usually very low).
Things improve later in the week to end it as the sun should return Thursday and Friday with highs in the low 70s.
