Will Hurricane Sandy rain on Marine Corps Marathon?

October 26, 2012

Some good news: some of the latest model guidance suggests rain from Hurricane Sandy won’t arrive until after the Marine Corps Marathon planned for this Sunday. And winds will be just starting to slowly increase.

Here’s our latest thinking.

Race time temperatures: Mid-50s early morning to near 60 early afternoon

Chance of rain: 20 percent chance of showers early morning to 40 percent early afternoon

Winds: 10-15 mph in the early morning, increasing to 15-20 mph by early afternoon, out of the north

Sky conditions: Mostly cloudy

This forecast is highly subject to change, so please stay tuned for updates.
