Overnight lows will slip to the low 50s with a lingering chance for a brief sprinkle under mostly cloudy skies.

I don’t want to spoil anything here but all signs point towards Boston seeing the end of freezing nights for the cold season. Even Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire saw the last of the lake ice melt Wednesday morning, declaring “ice-out” — marking the end of winter for the state’s largest lake as of 7:02 a.m. The sunshine Wednesday helped boost temperatures to the low 50s across Boston that will keep Wednesday night’s low in the mid to upper 30s in the city with a warming trend on deck.

American Desiree Linden and Japan’s Yuki Kawauchi prevailed in one of the worst weather days in Boston Marathon history back in 2018. Both runners trained in cold, grim conditions leading up to the race while many of those who trained in warmer areas of the world struggled mightily and dropped out. The body makes physiological adjustments to the environment in which we’re in — it’s called weather acclimatization.

New England is experiencing another warm day on Tuesday, with scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder as multiple fronts pass through the region. Temperatures have reached the 60s for the second straight day, but as we reach the April halfway mark, the month has run about 2 degrees cooler than average. The temperature will crash on Wednesday as colder air funnels into the region behind Tuesday’s system. Highs will reach the low 50s after a chilly commute in.

We are less than a week away from one of the greatest traditions in the city of Boston - the Boston Marathon - and the weather forecast is firming up for next Monday. We’re starting to see a clear trend develop that will give participants and spectators an idea of how the weather will play out by the time runners and wheelchair athletes bolt out of the starting line for the 26.2-mile race route.

Monday’s resurgence of spring warmth delivered highs in the upper 60s, making for a wonderful, crystal clear day in New England. It was a far cry from last week’s raw weather that brought cold rain and April snow, and below-average temperatures to many parts of the region. It’ll be a bit of an active day with a system bringing multiple fronts through New England, producing scattered showers Tuesday morning and light rain from late morning lasting through the commute home.

We’re heading into yet another raw, wet, and overall miserable weekend. Make that five weekends in a row without the sun, including this Saturday and Sunday. The last time the Boston area saw a dry weekend with some sunny moments was March 8-9. Why can’t we seem to get a nice, warm weekend this spring? Is it bad luck, or are we stuck in a crummy weather pattern? We saw a similar pattern develop last year with most of New England starting 2024 with rainy weekends right through May. So what’s going on?

It’s almost time for one of the greatest traditions in the city of Boston, and we have an early first look at how the weather might play out during the 129th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 21.
