CBS2’s Chief Weathercaster Lonnie Quinn explains we’re in for the possibility of record-breaking cold Thanksgiving morning, with winds that just might force the parade balloons to be grounded.
The wind gusts are expected to be right at the threshold for flying balloons: sustained winds at 22 mph and gusts expected at 33 mph.

Sucks for all the tourists who flock to NYC to see the parade. The wind chill temperature in NYC will be in the lower teens if the parade goes off.

It has happened before. You take your chances in New York in late November.

Are the weather geeks going to names these “high winds” or just refer to them as “high winds”?
To: C19fan
They get all worried about the winds every year.
I’m over the parade. They don’t show it anymore. It’s all about the talking heads and a dance group that’s not marching in the parade.

That is too bad. It is a great event starting the night before with blowing up the balloons and all the people filling the streets. We have gone twice. Thank God we did great things before the USA went crazy and you have to have a poop app to travel.

LOL. I like the reference you are making, to how the Weather Channel gives names to snowstorms. Which always struck me as absurd. It would be a logical extension, to give names to high winds.

Macy’s should move it to a true American city.

I remember one of David Letterman's Top 10 lists from many years ago-"Top 10 Things Overheard at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade". One of them was "No, dear, that swollen purple-faced thing isn't Barney; that's Senator Kennedy".
Shows that Letterman could be funny before he became a rabid democrat butt-boy.

Who is the Grand Marshal this year, Al Gore? Looks like The Grinch to me. He's even got a new movie out.
