This thread is not aging well. Forecast for a HIGH of 62 and 47% humidity which means at race time both will be even lower. Plus a 12 mph wind, so I guess the wusses will whine about that too.
What I don't get is this fixation on thinking you can run a pr every time out. I always judged my races by how I placed as a percentile of my age group and the overall field.
How do you account for some races being more competitive than others?
That doesn't matter, you can't control who's in the field any more than you can the weather. But rest assured Chicago gets a very competitive field.
Contrary to the doom sayer that started this thread, race day forecast is looking pretty good. Low to mid 40s at start, mid 50s by the end. Hight temp in low 60s by the afternoon. Maybe a little breezy, but I will take it.

The real reason the OP created this thread is he slacked off on his training and his last long run not surprisingly didn’t go well, so he wants to blame the weather for his poor performance. Typical adult child who doesn’t want to take any responsibility for his failures in life.
Current accuweather forecast for Chicago on October 9th is 88 degrees.
Before you tell me that it is too far out to predict I will tell you that accuweather was right on last year this far out and I was criticized last year for this same post.
CHANGE THE DATE TO THE LAST WEEK OF CHICAGO FROM HERE ON OUT. PLEASE
Let's see. An American Record, near World Record and the 2nd fastest debut by an American...imagine how fast it would've been without the "hot" weather.
