CINCINNATI — It is hard to forget how big of a role the weather played for last year's Flying Pig Marathon.
Heavy rain and storms storms led to a lot of confusion and frustration along the course, and it also may have even hampered some peoples efforts. Fingers crossed that Mother Nature doesn't have an encore in store for this year's event.

The latest model trends are showing that we will have a chance for rain both Saturday and Sunday this weekend, but the good news is that most of that activity should be during the afternoon.
However, not ideal for runners is the warm conditions for both this morning and tomorrow morning. We will be in the low 60s with a little humidity.
The big question will be for Sunday morning.
Most of this week the computer model guidance had been trending to a clear and dry start to the morning for Sunday. However, in the last 24 hours a few models have started to show some development of rainfall for the first half of the day on Sunday.
One thing on our side here is that there is not much consistency from model run to model run, and only one or two of these models have it. However, it does highlight that there is the possibility for a shower or two early Sunday. However, this will not be a repeat of last year and if we do get any precipitation it will be light.
