FWIW, Findmymarathon has their Boston weather page up now. Enter your wave and finishing time goal and it shows you the weather for that time of day at Hopkinton, Wellsley and Boston including headwinds or tailwinds. Tailwind now. Woohoo!
But it was interesting following it last year to see how different the weather is at the start compared to the finish in Boston.

Apple Weather on Monday 70% chance of rain. 47 low 60 high. No wind info, but Des must be liking her chances the nastier the weather.
No legitimate hobby meteorologist uses apple weather. Rain doesn’t mean nasty weather. Especially if wind is minimal. Stop being soft. 60 and rain sounds like great weather. Better than 50 and sunny.
40s when you wake up. 50s when you race. Headwind at 10-15 mph. Ran that occasionally showers at times. Like 2018 but the winds aren’t as bad, the temps warmer, the ran not as hard.

Did you run the 2018 race? It looked awful, hopefully this won't be as bad. Has anyone here run a marathon in the rain? Any advice clothing / gear wise? I assume staying warm could be an issue but as stated above it doesn't look as bad as 2018. I've been training in Colorado and it has been a cold winter, so I am used to cold and was planning on wearing a normal kit + gloves + hat at least for the first few miles. Should I plan on wearing more than that?

Not once your race starts, no. But I'd be in some disposable plastic at the start.
