If it rains the spectators won't be there.
If it is cold, sunny weather the spectators will be along the course, although possibly not
as numerous as a 60 - 70 degree day.

Climate change in a coastal-elite paradise - couldn't happen to a more deserving locale!
If the weather is cold it is climate change.
If the weather is hot it is global warming.
It is freezing out there in April. In the future, possibly, but as of today there is no global warming.
'La Nina.' That's gotta be good for something.
Extended forcast for Monday week is rainy and wind. Not good. Hopefully that's 12am-9am and the remainder of marathonmonday is overcast and cool.
I would rather have snow flurries than have it raining.
If it is a light rain then it might not be too bad.
As Doris Day would phrase it : whatever will be, will be.
Boston isn't until Monday, 16 April 2018. That's still a week away. Could be a lot of change by then.

Granted, but it is presently 32 degrees on this Sunday morning. It is dry though.
It can be too cold for comfort.
32 degrees is too cold. Not many spectators would want to stand around along the course for hours
on end in 32 degree weather.
Who the heck cares how many 'spectators' are out there? Are you a runner or one of those clowns running around high-fiving people? Buckle down, toughen up.
I care and I suspect most feel the same way.
The plethora of spectators is the reason Boston is worth running.
gusts up to 53 mph lol

from the SW.
a perfect tailwind.
The temps for Marathon Monday are perfect for those of us up north, where it’s still f**king winter (it literally snowed last night where I live). Last year it was quite warm at Boston and it SUCKED. This year will be amazing!

Lol. Love debunking global, multi-year/decade/century trends by the weather on my front porch today.

or the weather that is cyclical at best. but you Al Gore lovers like to do that day by day thing, really makes you feel smart, doesn't it?
If this turns out to be true that's actually a distaster weather scenario. Sustained 17mph winds out of the SSE with gusts up to 45 (!) mph. And raining. That's a lot of rain in your face or blowing across you, and brutally strong winds you're running into. Glad I'm not doing it this year.
Most weather sites have this as a cross wind most of the time, and the rain should not have an affect on times. In fact, these conditions would yield faster than normal times for Boston, it is often quite hot - see the last two years.
Just avoiding the heat is a HUGE win - that's what can really derail a race.

The fact that we're having flurries today is irrelevant to next Monday. Current forecast is for high in the low 50's. If that holds, that's perfect running weather.
It is almost like people have never lived through spring before. It could be 30s and snowing today and 80s within a week's time.
Exact forecast for where I live.
That may be but the problem is after the race when runners begin shivering and feeling very cold.
This is not a pleasant way to end a marathon.
I remember the cold, wet weather at the end of the 2007 Boston.
Many were shivering waiting in line for their drop bags.
I remember thinking that never again would I run a cold, rainy marathon.
