NYC Marathon weather: Will we finally get a rain-free weekend in time for race?

It has been eight straight weekends of rain, so a break would be more than welcome

Could it be — a truly rain-free weekend?

It's something we haven't seen in a couple months, but this weekend it could be possible that we go all of Saturday and Sunday without any precipitation. It has been eight straight weekends of rain, so a break would be more than welcome.

Friday saw another chilly start, though not quite as cold as Thursday, and temperatures bounced back to near-typical levels throughout the day.

Then we kick off the first dry weekend in two months, and the weather couldn't look better.

And the break couldn't come at a better time for thousands of runners in the New York City Marathon on Sunday, as conditions look ideal for both those participating and spectating. Temperatures will be in the low 50s to start in the morning and will climb into the low 60s in the afternoon, with plenty of sun shining through clouds.

And don't forget: Daylight Saving Times ends on Sunday, so remember to set clocks back an hour that night (giving you an extra hour of sleep...or at the bar. Either way). And with that switch come earlier sunsets as well: Sunday's sunset will be the first before 5 p.m. of the season.

The chance for showers returns on Tuesday, Election Day, although none of those systems looking strong enough to be a real issue across the region. Cooler temperatures follow to wrap up the week, as it will only reach the high 40s and low 50s.
