The 16 day model forecast for Houston Marathon day now shows cold air not arriving until late on the 12th [the graph is in UTC, six hours ahead of Houston]. The weather through the 11th looks pretty bad, warm and humid with the dewpoint above 60. Marathon morning now has temperature in the 30s, a strong North wind at 20 mph, and a chance of freezing rain.....I'm glad it's just a long range forecast. And if you believe that's exactly what's going to happen, I know of some swampland in Matagorda County....
AccuWeather has Saturday night and Sunday on their 15 day forecast. They predict:
Saturday Night, Jan 12
Low: 31 °F RealFeel®: 16 °F
Very cold with rain, which can freeze on surfaces late
Sunday, Jan 13

Periods of rain and freezing rain

The record high minimum temperatures are the ones that worry me. I hope we don't see anything close to those warm minimums.
A general aerobic 9 mile run for me today. I might have pushed the pace a little too hard, 6:40 average pace. Back to work tomorrow.
Why does Rice play Texas?
