THANKSGIVING UPDATE
The windier and colder feeling weather is moving back in, Long Island! It is happening overnight and will stick around for a couple of days. It will feel like the 20s to low 30s Thanksgiving morning.
Everything is still on track for a dry, but windy and colder feeling day. It will feel like the 30s at best in the afternoon.
WILL THE NYC THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE BALLOONS FLY?
It is still a close call, but we think the balloons will fly tomorrow. That said, there is a chance they could be flying a bit lower than usual due to wind gusts between 30 to 35 mph at times in NYC during the parade.
The threshold is usually 23 mph for sustained wind and 34 mph for wind gusts. The sustained wind is below the threshold for where major changes are usually made with this, but the gusts are close.
That is why, out of an abundance of caution, you may see some, if not all of the balloons flying a little closer to the ground.
I hope you all have a nice and safe Thanksgiving holiday. You can see more of our local Long Island weather in the above video or in the text below. Have a great night and be prepared to bundle up for the next few days!
