DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 18-22)…
\nBoston Marathon Forecast: As the various races begin, temperature ranged from the upper 30s to upper 40s along the course early, coolest in the lower interior areas, but will rise fairly rapidly through the 50s, reaching highs in the 60s along most of the course with a near 70 top reading possible. As the race goes on, a north wind of 5 to 15 MPH will turn to the east and the temperature will start to fall closer to Boston into the upper to middle 50s. Sunshine will be dominant overall but as the afternoon progresses and the later runners arrive there will be more cloudiness.
\nThe weather today is still be influenced by high pressure trying to hang on but a front pressing southward will be bringing the cloudiness later in the day. The initial wind shift will be due to a sea breeze and not the actual front, which will pass by tonight. A wave of low pressure along it will enhance moisture for a period of rain mainly in the overnight and early morning hours. A clearing trend will begin after a cloudy and damp start on Tuesday, but it will also be on the cool side and turning windy. High pressure builds in with fair and cool weather Wednesday along with a gusty breeze, then this high sinks to the south and a warm up arrives for Thursday. By Friday, a front approaching from the west will bring some rain showers to the area but it will still be quite mild.
