Looking at a chilly mid-week forecast as clouds settle in on Wednesday with a high near 56°F and an overnight low around 43°F. Partly cloudy skies early give way to showers later in the evening. Chance of rain 80%.

Thursday, forecasts show an 80% chance of rain paired with temperatures that are expected to climb no higher than 46°F throughout the day. With cold air and wet conditions lining up just in time for the Christmas parade and fireworks, visitors should prepare for a brisk and potentially soggy evening.

If Thursday’s weather pattern holds, umbrellas, jackets, and warm layers may be essential for anyone planning to attend the parade. The combination of rain, chilly winds, and limited daylight warmth could make outdoor viewing more challenging than usual.

Even so, holiday cheer doesn’t always wait for perfect skies. If forecasts shift in our favor, crowds may still gather to watch the lights roll through town and fireworks glow against the night. For now, keep an eye on the radar and dress for a winter-worthy December night.
