Marathon forecast update
 
Last minute Houston Marathon weather forecast ๐Ÿ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐ŸŽฝ
 
Forecast: Cold with a modest northerly breeze. ๐ŸŒฌ
 
Eric Berger ยท Saturday, January 10, 2026 3:03โ€ฏPM
 
In brief:
 
Temperatures ๐ŸŒก
 
*Some of our highest resolution models are trending a little lower in terms of temperatures at sunrise on Sunday.
*At this time, I would therefore predict temperatures at 7 am are closer to 40 degrees than 45, and they will likely remain in the 40s until around 10:30 or 11 am.
*You can count on fairly cold conditions throughout the race.
 
Winds: ๐ŸŒฌ
 
*I'm sure more than a few of you stepped outside into the blustery conditions on Saturday and wondered whether these winds are going to persist into Sunday morning; We can confidently say no, they will not.
*As we've been predicting for several days, winds will be elevated in the aftermath of the frontal passage, but gradually settle down.
*During the race, I expect very light winds at the start while we're waiting in the corrals.
*By mid-morning (you know, probably right about the time you hit mile marker 14 and head north on Post Oak) they may pick up to about 10 mph, with some slightly higher gusts from the north.
 
Still, they'll be nothing like last year.
 
Skies: โ˜๏ธ
 
I think they're going to be mixed.
 
*I don't have great confidence in the cloud cover forecast.
*My sense is that we'll start out mostly cloudy early in the morning, with gradual clearing throughout the race.
 
Precipitation: ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿšซ
 
*None, unless we're counting perspiration. In that case, plenty. ๐Ÿ˜
 
Good luck, everyone! โœ…๏ธ
