The three racing events of Grandma's Marathon Weekend are shaping up to be record-setting, with the marathon's race weekend going completely sold out for the first time since 2016.

As more than 20,000 runners prepare to run in one of the largest participation fields in event history, weather will (as it always does) be on the minds of all runners and spectators alike.

In addition to the running events, people looking to check out some of the annual music fun associated with Grandma's Marathon Weekend will want to see the forecast ahead of 'Rock The Bayfront 2022' (see the lineup here).

Here's the latest updated forecast through the events of the big marathon weekend:

Note that if you venture away from the Lake Superior shoreline, things will be a little warmer away from the lake, as a breeze from the lake will keep things cool in areas like Canal Park.

Saturday Evening - Entertainment Tent Concerts (Duluth)

A few clouds will start to creep into the picture for Saturday evening, but mostly clear and dry conditions will make for a cool, but pleasant night. Temperatures will fall from 60 degrees around 6 pm to 50 degrees by 11 pm. After a breezy afternoon, the wind should calm some into the evening, with a slight easterly breeze possible into the evening hours, 5-10 mph off Lake Superior from the east.
