OK so I am not sure about the geography of the course. If the forecast says 15mph E winds, is that a head or tail wind?

Head wind. The course runs from the western metro-Boston area into Boston.
I ran my first Boston back in 2006. The forecast was nearly identical and we had a great day, weather-wise. That was the same year that Cheriyot broke the course record. As for the crowds, they are relentless from start to finish. I really enjoyed them for the first 21 miles but the last 5 I couldn't take it any longer. I felt like crap and all I could smell was the beer that everyone was drinking.
Latest has the rain holding off but a head wind of 5-15 MPW and gusts up to 25. What has anybody else heard?
Wicked pissah of a headwind near the finish today. Hopefully more of a crossing wind by tomorrow.
