Temperature in Hopkinton 10am 59F. High 61F.

Temperature in Boston 10am 59F. High 60F

Wind in Hopkinton 10am. 18mph predominantly West. Tailwind. Could veer to south.

Wind in Boston 12pm. 19mph WNW.

PRs will be set if this holds. Nearly the same setup as 2011. You heard it here first.

John Kellogg analyzes what it all means here:

Tuesday has a high of only 45 in Boston......hopefully tomorrow will be favorable and produce great times.

Lucky they are not running today..........

If only the tailwind could be strong enough for someone to break 2 hours. What could Nike do? Say it is not valid?

Everyone is talking about 60 degree temps. That's a little warm but not awful. HOw come no one is walking about the huge tail wind?

17mph WNW

I mean WSW is a total tail wind by 17mph from that direction should certainly help compensate for the 60 degree temps.

A brisk tail wind is like a PED. No runner thinks its why they ran faster, they are convinced they do it by theirself .

7:30 in Mass and it's still above 80 and humid. Storms just coming thru but we'll see what the temps will end up being at 9:30 and 10:00am

exactly, it's will be a lot warmer than 65 at the start. I bet closer to 70 and humid

Did a shakeout run this am and it is warm.

Out of all the major marathons it's always been the major corollary

of Boston, "If the conditions exist..." External or internal?

Tough race!

Sorry, can't bring myself to read anything with the words "mind-boggling" in it. Hate that saying. Probably a decent read, however.

20mph wind out of the west. Can't believe there are so many people on social media whining about the weather. Embarrassing.

Thanks for the update, dork.

Any free streaming sites?

8 am Cambridge 68 sunny and a slight tsilwind .Definitely prefect for a Rupp win but not an American record . He is a warm weather marathoner ,

Not complaining but the facts are that 50 degrees is optimal temp for a marathon, not a sunny 70.

As you were:

Thanks theohiostate,

unfortunately I can't access the BAA official site. I am in Asia pacific (Tokyo).

Yeah it's too warm. And it will feel like suffocating with that tail wind.

We're looking at 2:10ish times today.
