The city of Boston braces for a week of fluctuating weather as the famed Marathon weekend approaches. The National Weather Service forecasts today will be mostly cloudy with a high near 55 degrees and winds ranging between 11 to 15 mph. Tonight is expected to cool down to around 42 degrees with similar wind conditions.
Looking towards the weekend, Saturday remains a cool contender, cloaked in clouds and a potential for light sprinkles. Tomorrow promises a partial reprieve, with the morning potentially clear and sunny, and highs anticipated near 60 degrees, as per the National Weather Service. Runners and spectators may need to keep a light jacket handy with brisk winds predicted, but the battle with any persistent rain seems to be off the cards for the most part.
According to an NBC Boston report, the latter part of the weekend might see light showers by the afternoon. Monday, however, is billed as the best day for Marathon goers with "tons of sun and mild temps," making it optimal for marathon supporters lining the streets, if not necessarily for all runners who may prefer cooler conditions.
The good weather looks set to continue into Tuesday, with sunny skies and high near 65 degrees. However, the reprieve might be short-lived as midweek is expected to bring showers and a noticeable front. While no significant storms are on the radar, these gentle intrusions of rain could dampen the spirits of midweek plans.
The rest of the week alternates between cloudy skies and opportunities for showers, according to the National Weather Service. With high temperatures hovering in the mid to low 60s, it's a relatively mild outlook for both the city's weather and the runners hitting the pavement. As Friday rolls around, showers and mostly cloudy skies are likely with highs near 58 degrees.
