The Big Apple is set for a real basting Thursday - with a steady downpour expected when the balloons take flight for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The balloons can't fly if there are sustained winds at about 23 miles an hour. Right now we're forecasting staying winds will be around 10 to 15 miles an hour, so a little bit of a breeze, but not enough to take down the balloon.
Based on the city's guidelines, no giant character balloon will be operated when there are sustained wind conditions exceeding 23 mph and wind gusts exceeding 34 mph on the parade route.
It's looking like it will be kind of a raw day, but nothing too crazy, temperature-wise, with temperatures staying in the mid to upper 40s.
