The Weather Channel now has marathon day in their forecast. I've noticed they tend to heavily weight their long term predictions with seasonal averages. For Saturday night they show:
Overnight Low 40°F
Precip 30%
Wind: N 6 mph
Max. Humidity: 73%
For Sunday they show:
High 60°F
Precip 30%
Wind: NNW 12 mph
Max. Humidity: 65%
UV Index: 4 Moderate
Sunrise: 7:18 AM CT
The 16 day model forecast still has temperature in the 30s, but the strong North wind chance of snow flurries are out [the graph is in UTC, six hours ahead of Houston]. And if you believe that's exactly what's going to happen, I know of some swampland in Matagorda County....
AccuWeather now has Saturday night and Sunday on their 6 to 10 day forecast. They predict:
Saturday Night, Jan 12
Low: 33 °F RealFeel®: 20 °F
Windy and cold with rain
Sunday, Jan 13
High: 52 °F RealFeel®: 43 °F
Clouds limiting sunshine
For the record, here's the climate data around Houston Marathon day:

The record high minimum temperatures are the ones that worry me. I hope we don't see anything close to those warm minimums.
