It's Thursday morning, and the current Penn forecast calls for three sunny days. Highs Thursday 62, Friday 73, Saturday 85.

Sounds awfully good to me.

The final forecasts for Penn were right on the mark. Don't know about Drake.

I was at Penn and the weather was spectacular. From what I've read, it was cold and rainy on Saturday at Drake.

Weather was 49 degrees and raining at the start of the Drake Relays. This as per the ESPN 2 broadcast

It was 85 at Drake on Friday afternoon. Apparenlty only the sixth time in 100 years of the meet to have a temp of 85 or above.

It was 85 at Drake on Friday afternoon. Apparenlty only the sixth time in 100 years of the meet to have a temp of 85 or above.

All the more reason to be a little disappointed in Saturday's weather downturn....

But as the locals explained, "What's a Drake Relays without bad weather?"
