Comfortable temps, chance of rain

Starting at 63°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. High humidity (85%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
