I can't call this "official" because I am no authority.
All we have so far are long-term forecasts, which mean nothing and are little more than a historical average with some actual forecasting baked in. The closer we get to race day, the more accurate it will be.
weather.com: hi 55 / lo 41
accuweather.com: hi 53 / lo 43 / considerable cloudiness
Both would be fine, and both mean nothing. But one can hope.
Any other weather prognosticators/obsessives?
This forecast is a suckee suckee. No good.
Let's hope for another hurricane to hit Boston, like last year. Love watching Yuki win it last year.
I'll be keeping a close eye on the weather and this thread.
There are a couple of sites I have found that project out farther than 2 weeks. Obviously they are pretty tenuous but right now they show cloudy weather high low 50s, low about 40

Probably to early to worry about this yet. :)
So far so good.
No storm and not too hot.

So far that is a bad thing. I want to see blood. Wars of attrition are way funnier to watch than some pansy a $$ race. Where some pansy wins it without pain.
Just average day is fine with me. I don't want it to be like last year where we walked away with fake winners wearing laurel wreaths.
I bet the men's winner will be 10 minutes faster than last year and the women's winner closer to 20 minutes faster.

I bett you're the same kind of person who complains about a real xc course with real hills, which caused you to run slower than usual.
I don't care about conditions. I'm pumped for the hobbyjogger olympics. I'm out for blood.
Two weeks out
weather.com: hi 55 / lo 42 / showers
accuweather.com: hi 53 / lo 40 / rain & drizzle
[Obligatory "we're still two weeks away so this means little" disclaimer]
I live near the marathon course. Yesterday was sunny, mid 60s. Today is windy, mid 30s.
Hope this helps!
weather.com is forecasting wind WNW @ 12 MPH
Long way out yet and it will change, but here is a site that breaks it down based on your time and Hopkinton, Wellesly, and Boston.

That would be phenomenal. Actually WNW @ 40 MPH would be better.

I think WSW would be the optimum direction.
Thirteen days to go
weather.com: hi 54 / lo 43 / AM showers
accuweather.com: hi 53 / lo 42 / chance of drizzle / wind S 10mph, gusts to 31mph
No, it doesn’t. But thanks for posting anyway.
I know it's way too far out, but the forecast is just amazing:
42-51F, 7-11mpw wind SSW.

Like last year's forecast. Remember Tuesday the day after the marathon had perfect conditions.
