Boston Obsession: Boston Marathon Weather Forecast — five-day forecasts now included

Some sources are predicting things to be a little warmer than they did yesterday and some a little cooler. There’s still almost nobody predicting rain. Winds are still supposed to be from the west or southwest. Runners could hardly ask for better. It’s a little too perfect if you ask me — a vast conspiracy of meteorologists all having some fun at our expense, knowing full well it’s going to be sleet and 33 from six to ten in the morning, then the sun will come out and temperatures will soar to 91 by noon. Just sayin’.

WBZ – 66/38, partly cloudy with possible showers. That’s up five degrees from their guess yesterday and is inching into definitely-a-bit-too-warm territory. Then again, they no longer think Tuesday is going to be over 60, so the warming trend doesn’t seem to be a stable system.

WHDH – 54/36. “Mostly sunny start, then some afternoon clouds. Windy and comfortable. Highs in the mid 50s.” This is the one to root for, assuming they mean W or SW winds.

WCBV - 62/40. Partly cloudy. SW breeze.

AccuWeather - 58/31. Partly sunny W winds at 19mph, gusts to 44mph. That low temperature could make for a chilly wait in Hopkinton.

National Weather Service – “Mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 60s. Lows in the upper 40s.”

Most other sources are in broad agreement with this sampling.
