Comfortable temps, moderate wind, chance of rain

Mild 51°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Moderate winds around 13mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. High humidity (87%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
