Long Range Forecasts for Sat.

It's a bit far away from race day (Saturday the 14th), but I thought I'd start tracking the weather forecasts anyway. The number of forecasts with any wind information that go out more than about two days is pretty small (two), and I don't put any trust in their predictions, but here goes anyway...

Summary: Cool (~60F), partially sunny, light/medium winds from the NW.

As we get closer to the weekend, I'll post some updated entries with some of the more accurate forecasts.

Cheers,
