Colder weather to arrive for the Richmond Marathon

Posted

RICHMOND, Va. --  Temperatures for the majority of this week will be fairly close to normal.  There will be some occasional temperature swings, but nothing as significant as recent weeks when we had highs well into the 80s.

This will change at the end of the week when a strong cold front arrives.  There won't be much moisture with the front, but it will be the leading edge of some cold Canadian air.

This colder air mass will settle in for next weekend, and will arrive in conjunction with the Richmond Marathon.
