The first of two cold fronts has cleared the Baltimore area as a return to more typical October weather begins. While the first front didn't do much in the way of producing much needed rain, it did take the record heat off the coast which should ease the fears of the 14,000 registered runners for this weekend's Baltimore Running Festival. A second front is tracking through Ohio this Wednesday morning and should sweep through Maryland late tonight and off the coast early tomorrow. Even cooler air is coming in behind this front so that temperatures by race time Saturday morning should be much more tolerable. Here's the early estimate of weather conditions Saturday in downtown Baltimore:

8:00 a.m.:
Temp: 48
Sky: Mostly Clear
Wind: NW 5-10 mph

1:00 p.m.:
Temp: 66
Sky: Mostly Sunny
Wind: NW 10 mph


See you Saturday!
