All of the Boston Marathon weather forecasts seem to have moved the same way overnight: a little warmer, and maybe a little breezier. Those breezes are still supposed to be from the west or southwest though — tailwinds, in other words. Most of the predicted highs are in the low 60s now, which isn’t too bad, since most of our running will be done before it gets that warm. Predicted lows range from 38 to 47. Almost nobody is predicting rain — the rain on Saturday or Sunday is supposed to blow out of the area by Monday.
Both WHDH and WBZ are predicting Tuesday to be seven degrees warmer than Monday, so keep an eye out for the patterns accelerating and leaving us running in the mid-60s, which would be bad.
WHDH: 60/41 mostly cloudy. “Becoming cloudy and mild with highs near 60. Stiff wind.”
WBZ: 61/38 partly cloudy. No new marathon weather blog post yet. Here is their detailed marathon forecast blog post. They are starting to sound kind of confident.
National Weather Service: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 50s.
MSN: 58/45 partly cloudy. Winds W 18 mph.
AccuWeather: 58/40 partial sunshine. Winds WSW 18 mph, gusts to 40.
ForeCa: 64/43. partly cloudy. Winds SW 15 mph.
IntelliCast (and Weather Channel): 64/47. “Few showers… plenty of sun.” Winds WSW 13 mph.
Tailwinds would be epic for Boston! It will be interesting to see what the day brings…
