That's pretty much what I'm looking at, too...60% chance of rain. Crap. Luckily I'm not holding much (if any) stock in the forecast this far out. I won't take it seriously until 3-4 days beforehand.

Zoomie, 10-day forecasts are worthless, all they are is climatological averages. They aren't accurate outside of 4-5 days. Wow, it's getting close. As they said in "Airplane", Good luck, we're all counting on you.

Ha! Yeah, and in this area I don't believe the weather until I see it in my yard. My MIL's vacation place is 8 miles away and she can have vastly different weather there. Snowfall can easily be half or double difference, same with rain...it can be sunny here and rainy there, or vice-versa. Crazy shit.

Yes but it gives me something to obsess over other than the fact that I am gaining weight faster than in my last pregnancy.

49°/67° - 20% chance precip. Dang, it's getting warmer. I'd be thrilled for it to not get into the 60s at all. Looks like my cold weather outfit will likely be unnecessary.

It has only rained once for the portland marathon in the last 20 or 30 years... and that year (2000), it stopped right away. Hopefully that trend will continue. Unfortunately, I used up all my good weather mojo yesterday in Bellingham. I am usually known as the bringer of storms and pestilence. So I'll see you on Sunday Big grin

Rain doesnt bother me, especially light rain. Better than sun. I hate sunshine. I am like a vampire. Except without the beauty and speed and drinking blood part. See you sunday hopefully! I'll look for a guy in pink. I havent decided what I am wearing and either way it probably wont be that distinctive. Probably my orange Nike Run Hit wonder shirt. Black shorts. White hat with a green turtle on it. Pretty much what my profile pic has, but different hat.

52/64 10% chance precip, partly cloudy...getting better! I'm with you, Ennay...overcast would be lovely. Even with a light drizzle.
