Close call for passing showers for Knicks ticker-tape parade

The air greets Thursday with noticeable warmth and humidity, a signal that the atmosphere is still holding on to summer's intensity. Passing showers may linger, especially north and west of the city, and could impact the start of the Knicks' ticker-tape parade, while elsewhere the weather teases with brief breaks of sunshine. Despite the brightening skies, a weak front moving through keeps the atmosphere unsettled, and while widespread storms are not expected, the possibility of a few isolated, stronger cells cannot be ruled out. These storms, though scattered, could pack brief bursts of intensity before quickly moving on. Learn more about your ad choices.

Picture perfect Tuesday, but will showers rain on our parade later this week

A stretch of comfortable early summer weather is setting the stage this week, beginning with a nearly flawless Tuesday across the area. The quiet pattern, however, begins to shift as the middle of the week approaches. By Wednesday, clouds will become more dominant, and the atmosphere will take on a more unsettled feel. Conditions remain somewhat uncertain heading into Thursday, when warmer and more humid air settles in. The chance for showers and thunderstorms continues, with timing that could prove problematic for outdoor plans, including the Knicks ticker-tape parade in New York City.
