Rainy and Windy Grandma’s Marathon
(WDIO)
With Grandma’s festivities around now here the weather conditions for Duluth’s Big Race Saturday has changed for the better. The system looks to be moving farther south. I still think some rain is likely but just much lighter. Light drizzle along with fog will start the race, but showers look to increase some by the afternoon. If you are running the race rain gear and keep as dry as you can will be key. If you are looking for a silver lining, the winds may help get you across the finish line faster. Here is how its looking.
