Weather has been so great in Central TX this year. 4 Races for me (starting back in January), all early morning starts with just basic kit (no base layer or arm warmers). It's not unusual for us to get nice weather for a race or 2 early in the year, but this year has been crazy. There is a 60% chance of rain Saturday for the Corsicana race this weekend, I'm actually hoping for a little weather. I hate starting a race in the cold/rain, but I sort of like it once the real racing starts (depending on the course).
