Daily News | One soggy weekend is forecast for Philly, but Broad Street runners might dodge the rain drops
After a dry day Thursday, the impending rains would be wrung out from a series of storm systems, bookending the weekend.
In the first wave, the heaviest rain is due to hold off until late Friday and Friday night, and it could be quite stormy in the early morning hours of Saturday with winds gusting to near 30 mph. Lingering rain is likely in the morning, but could shut off Saturday afternoon, Johnson said. The computer models are quibbling, she added, but the lull in the rains could continue into Sunday afternoon, well past the race time, she said.During the race, winds are forecast to be light, blowing from the east, off the Delaware River, with temperatures in the 50s.
Significant rain is forecast later Sunday into Monday. After the rain stops, the spring chill is forecast to persist,Assuming the forecast holds, the rains would continue a trend: Rain has fallen on Saturday and/or Sunday in six of the last seven weekends. Meteorologists say this isn’t unusual. Given the spacing between systems in the atmosphere, they sometimes get into a rut of arriving in 3- to 3½-day intervals. When that happens, rain on a Saturday or Sunday almost guarantees rain the following weekend.
