TURNING TO OUR WEATHER RIGHT NOW, WE SAW EARLIER THE OAKS. WE SAW THE COURSE. IT WAS NOTHING BUT A MUD PIT, ESSENTIALLY. SO LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BETTING ADVICE. BET ON WHICHEVER HORSE RUNS THE BEST IN MUD. THAT MIGHT BE. YEAH, BECAUSE THERE’S GOING TO BE. I MEAN, ALL IN ALL, THIS IS JUST A TERRIBLE WEEKEND FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS. I MEAN, NO WAY AROUND IT. IT MAY NOT BE RAINING EVERY SINGLE MINUTE, BUT RAIN IS IMPACTING AND WHATEVER SCHEDULING OR ARRANGEMENTS YOU’RE MAKING FOR ANYTHING OUTDOORS, AND THAT INCLUDES THE FLYING PIG THIS WEEKEND TOO. SO WE’VE GOT BATCHES OF SHOWERS AND DOWNPOURS PIVOTING THEIR WAY ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THAT’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOME ACTION TO THE SOUTHEAST OF US, AND THEN THERE’S MORE ACTION DEVELOPING OUT TO THE NORTHWEST. THIS WILL BE THE TREND. IN FACT, I THINK TOMORROW IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE ONE OF THE WETTEST DAYS WE’VE HAD SO FAR THIS WEEK, AND THAT’S HARD TO BEAT GIVEN THAT WE’VE HAD RAIN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY ALREADY. THIS WEEKEND ITSELF. SO HERE WE ARE. THERE’S THE FRONT PARKED ON TOP OF US. THIS IS THE DEVELOPING STORM CENTER WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALL WEEK THAT IS ESSENTIALLY GOING TO PARK ITSELF RIGHT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY, AT LEAST FOR NOW. TEMPERATURES ARE MILD, BUT SOME COOLER WEATHER WILL SNEAK IN HERE ON SATURDAY. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING AS WE MOVE FORWARD. GET READY FOR WET WEATHER. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK DOWNTOWN RIGHT NOW. LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THAT GAME IN AS WE’VE HAD A LITTLE REPRIEVE IN THE RAINFALL. BUT WATCH FUTURECAST HERE. THIS IS ABOUT AS UGLY AS IT GETS FOR A WEEKEND WITH LOTS OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES TAKING YOU THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THERE’S A LOOK OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. STILL DEALING WITH SHOWERS AND DOWNPOURS AROUND THE AREA TAKING YOU INTO TOMORROW MORNING. RAIN STILL FALLING ACROSS THE REGION. TAKING YOU INTO LATE MORNING AFTERNOON TOMORROW LOOKS VERY SOGGY FOR US. THERE COULD EVEN BE SOME THUNDER TO THE SOUTHEAST AND OUR SOUTHEASTERN MOST COMMUNITIES. AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT WE MIGHT CATCH A BREAK. LOOK WHAT HAPPENS IN THE EVENING TOMORROW. MORE RAIN FILLS IN ACROSS THE AREA. SO THIS IS A VERY WET GO. IN FACT, THIS IS 3:00 SUNDAY MORNING. IT MAY NOT BE RAINING RIGHT WHEN THE GUN GOES OFF AGAIN FOR THE RACE ON SUNDAY MORNING, BUT I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN IT RAINS ALMOST RIGHT UP TO START TIME, IF NOT BEYOND HERE. 630 STILL PRETTY WET. THE KEY HERE WILL BE WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE ANY LIGHTNING. I DON’T THINK WE HAVE THUNDERSTORMS. SO IF YOU DON’T MIND RUNNING IN THE RAIN, I KNOW A LOT OF RUNNERS DO. THEN YOU’LL BE FINE. IT’LL BE A LITTLE ON THE COOL SIDE, AND THEN THAT RAIN WILL TAPER OFF EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ONLY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAYBE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. SO IT IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE A DAMP WEEKEND FOR US HERE IN THE TRI STATE. SO TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL SETTLE BACK CLOSE TO 60 OVERNIGHT, RIGHT AROUND 60 UPPER 50S, CLOSE TO 60. SO HUMID THE REST OF THE NIGHT 59 FOR AN OVERNIGHT LOW TOMORROW. IT’S A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. RAIN LIKELY A SOGGY DAY 64 TEMPERATURES AGAIN AREN’T GOING TO BUDGE MUCH, SO WE’LL WAVER. WE’LL PROBABLY CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S, 63, 64. AND THAT’S WHERE WE’LL LEVEL OUT. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. ALL OF YOUR RACES TOMORROW IMPACTED BY WET WEATHER. PLAN ON THAT. THEY’LL GO AS LONG AS THERE’S NO THUNDERSTORMS. I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF THUNDER TOMORROW. AND THEN ON SUNDAY MORNING, YOU KNOW WHAT ALMOST SHOULD CHANGE THIS FROM SCATTERED TO LIKELY WITH RAIN LIKELY AGAIN ON SUNDAY FOR US. AND YEAH, WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR RAIN IN THERE. BUT YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT’S NOT RAINING AGAIN RIGHT AT THE START OF THE MARATHON, IT
