Forecast: Don't Be Afraid of a Little Rain, But Bring Your Umbrella!

Hi everyone, we’ve been monitoring the weather and constantly refreshing the forecast on weather.com and right now, it says: “Cloudy. Periods of rain early. High 66F. Winds light and variable.” That sounds very much like light rain (hopefully before we kick off), and then overcast skies — but nothing we can’t handle. Bring an umbrella and a jacket just in case, but if anything, this will be a nice, cool environment to do this year’s walk.

The last time we faced rain was the 2010 Great LA Walk, and the day started a bit wet. But it cleared up and the Walkers who stuck it out were treated to a perfect day for a stroll. Not too hot, no swealtering sun. We live in LA, and we know how the rain goes. It's never as bad -- or lasts as long -- as we think. And this year, we'll be walking in urban areas where it will always be easy to dash into a restaurant and grab a snack in case you want to wait some wet stuff out. Hope to see you all on Saturday!
