It appears the front that passed through Houston today will cause rain for the final round of The Masters and rain and 52 degrees on Monday for the marathon.  This has been reported locally since Tuesday and the slide used during the weather forecast hasn't changed, which tells me there's not much to change before Monday.

The National Weather Service in Boston for Hopkinton forecasts showed 80% chance of rain Sunday night and 90% Monday.  From this afternoon's Forecast Discussion at NWS Boston:
Low pressure approaching from the south will bring a
soaking rainfall Sunday night into Monday, which will likely be
heavy at times.

Amounts are expected to be from 0.75" to 1.5" and for Boston, as well. Messy, wet, and cold. Saturday at the expo should be sunny by midday and 73 degrees.

Thanks for doing this Doug.  I think I've figured out how to record the event so that I can watch it later if I'm unable to watch it unfold.

Always a tough time of year for me...but I'm looking forward to following everyone!

Thanks, Ounce.  Going to be another wet one but about 20 degrees warmer than last year.  We will see as NE weather can change on a dime.

[Tim C]

Good luck everyone!

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will result in a cluster of heavy showers and
thunderstorms sweeping across the region through mid morning.
Improving conditions occur by late morning, but a strong cold front
will bring a few more showers and more importantly strong wind
gusts and much chillier temperatures late today and especially
tonight. Dry and seasonable temperature are expected Tuesday,
but it will remain windy. High pressure builds into the region
Wednesday with lighter winds, then a few showers are possible
Thursday as a warm front approaches. As a low pressure stalls
west of the region late this week, showers are expected at times
from Friday into Sunday along with milder temperatures. A
period of heavy rainfall is possible Friday night into Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

Highlights...

* Heavy showers and thunderstorms with 35 to 45 mph wind gusts
exit the southeast New England coast through 9 or 10 am

* Mainly dry later this morning with highs reaching the upper
60s to the lower 70s close to lunch time

* Strong cold front sweeps across the region between 1 and 6 pm
this evening with strong wind gusts/rapid drop in temps

I received the push notification on Fostever and 1L, but looks like the data has dropped because my screen looks like it did before the race.  

Now, Michael has passed the 20K mark, but no time.

At Logan Int'l airport it is 60 degrees, cloudy, with a south wind of 14 mph.

Most of the rain has left Boston, but another line is just inside Massachusetts from Albany, NY.
