More than confetti will be falling from the sky for the Knicks parade Thursday

Early storms Thursday could contain damaging winds. Rest of the day is hot and humid.

It's been 53 years since the New York Knickerbockers won the NBA championship. I hardly think any kind of weather is going to stop fans from celebrating with the team that has brought so much joy to the city, their fans, heck, everyone rooting for that underdog story.

It looks like there will be more than confetti falling from the sky early tomorrow. The showers that are expected will be scattered in nature, but there is still a chance for showers and an isolated thunderstorm from 8 a.m. through 12 p.m. If you are going to the parade, bring some wet-weather gear. Also, be prepared for a very hot and humid afternoon.

The front that provides the storm chances tomorrow will eventually pivot through the region by Thursday evening. This will move the showers and storms away from the region, and it will force the humidity back down towards the Chesapeake Bay area. The temperatures will remain seasonable for Friday and right through the weekend.

The weekend, in fact, looks fabulous. Fair weather moves back in from the Missouri Valley and allows sunny and seasonable weather to linger for most, if not all, of the weekend. Clouds could start to collect late Sunday. Showers and more storms are possible again very late Sunday night into Monday.
