Too good to be true, of course.
This far out they are just giving you the average for the day. Absolutely meaningless.
Agreed that it’s mostly (but not completely) meaningless, but if they are just reporting averages then why do you see daily rises and falls? Wouldn’t the average temps be a smooth daily climb?
It might be because the average for each day of the month historically has differed? So the daily rises and falls are just naturally occurring statistical noise. I have no idea though. Just guessing.
Temps look good - but - the wind is an issue. 9 MPH headwind with gusts to 20.
BREAKING NEWS:
I Just looked at the forecast for the 2019 race.
I know we're still a ridiculous 405 days away, but thanks to the soothsayers over at Accuweather it’s not too early for the handwringing/speculation to begin. Current prediction calls for a low of 35 Monday morning and a high of 51...

That headwind on Beacon will kill you. I'm going to try and defer till next year

Fortunately I’m just a hobby jogger so there will be plenty of people in front of me to block the wind.

Am thinking the same thing, but would like to find another full the same day, also point to point, but in the opposite direction. Help!

Good idea. By then you may actually be able to get into the porta-potties at athlete's village.

Dudes, you need to monitor Boston and Hopkington. Need hotter in Boston for a west wind.
