00:00The first Saturday of May is almost upon us. It's derby time at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
00:06Now, before the derby, the Kentucky Oaks will be run on Friday.
00:10It's going to be chilly out there, not terribly cold, but keep the cool air in mind when you're making
00:15those wardrobe selections.
00:17Temperatures 5 to 15 degrees below historical averages both Friday and Saturday.
00:21Could be a brief passing shower early Friday, hours before the Kentucky Oaks runs will be dry for the event.
00:28So the Oaks itself, 56 degrees at 840 on Friday evening.
00:33AccuWeather Real Field temperature about 52 degrees.
00:35It'll be light breeze from the northwest at around 9 miles per hour.
00:39For the derby itself, temperatures will be in the 50s, the mid-50s at that.
00:44Post time, 657.
00:46The weather should not get in our way this weekend.
00:49We look really, really good, just a little cool.
00:51It'll feel more like early April as opposed to early May.
