Damage In Tolland Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 What will the wx be like Mem Day weekend? I'm guessing climo up there is mid-upper70's by then. Last year I heard it was muggy and close to 90. This year..I'm thinking 75-80 and sunny. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klw Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I believe last year it was more in the low to mid 70's but there was rain right at the beginning and the dews were around 70 so it was deceptively brutal. Last year's race was May 29. High was 81, low 68 .20 of rain with 2.5 inches in the preceding 3 days. Lake was at record depth so they had to reroute part of the last few miles to avoid flooding. Here are some race reviews. http://www.marathong...m?MIDD=28120527 And the May forecast http://www.accuweath...-weather/331220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 By late may BTV is a prime spot for a run. Lake front plus low 70s and nice summer foliage is a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we want is high dews. He said it rained early and then the sun came out. With the drought this year,,it seems like we won;t have to worry about high humidity thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 A forecast this far out is almost a WAG. I would guess temps probably above normal by a litte bit anyways based on what I see. Could be much warmer, but it would be accuweather-like to guess a temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Be thankful for the 6th largest lake in the U.S. that's still only 45F right next to the course. Could be 90F at the airport and 65-75F on the Bike Path on the immediate lakeshore I still remember freshman year at UVM having it be 80-90F on campus away from the lake up on the hill, and rushing down to enjoy the warmth on the beach in May... only to have the girls be putting on sweatshirts because its in the 50s and 60s right next to the water. Amazing refridgerator effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah won't be 90. All depends on SFC winds... if its SSE or any sort of easterly component, you'll see no immediate cooling effect. West will cool and anything NW will really turn on the air conditioner... SW is hit or miss because the lake is pretty narrow south of BTV so it doesn't have the same effect as a westerly or northerly type flow where the fetch is more like 7-10 miles + depending on angle. The course will have a big range of temperatures as it always does though depending on how far from the lake you are... I'm telling ya the Rec Path portion that is literally feet from the water will feel refreshing no matter what, but once you get into the city and South Burlington it'll probably be 15F warmer for that portion of the run. But anyway, I think dews will make the most difference either way. I'd focus on that instead of pure temp... 70/69F would be more uncomfortable to me than 85/50F.
