Cooler temps will hang out over New England for the rest of the week. Why? Thanks to a blocking pattern keeping a pair of lows rotating cooler air & showers over the region.

Highs across Boston & Southern New England held to 40s on Wednesday, 50s the rest of the way. @bostonglobe.com

Feeling cool for the rest of the week, really.

The forecast was nearly spot on. Good stuff for athletes and even spectators. Sprinkles held south, and those along the course hardly reached the surface. Despite increasing clouds, it was the perfect day!

Bunches of clouds rolling into Eastern Mass now. This will hold temps to the upper 40s and low 50s. So far, sprinkles have held west of the marathon route and hardly reached the surface.

Tailwinds have set up some of the fastest races in history. 2011 had a 20 mph westerly tailwind which set the still-standing men's record of 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 2 seconds by Geoffrey Mutai.

Other fast races with a steady tailwind? 2010, 2016, and 2017. #boston #bostonmarathon @bostonglobe.com

A bit cold waiting at the starting line with runners for the 130th Boston Marathon.

Current temperatures for the 30,000+ runners in Hopkinton are in the upper 30s. Wind chill puts you at the low 30s, that's frosty.

Some sun & high clouds are out. When runners begin, they'll enjoy the weather.

Super El Niño? Why it matters:

- Our weather patterns change dramatically.

- Weak trade winds over the equatorial Pacific increase global temps dramatically, setting records.

- Sure, less Atlantic tropics action, but long jump in heat waves/drought, and rain events (northeast). @bostonglobe.com
