New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade will take place amidst expected rain, though the storm is anticipated to lessen as the day progresses. Meteorologist Mathieu Blue stated that while initial showers may persist, they will become less intense around 2 p.m. Parade participants can expect mild temperatures despite the rain, with highs around 58°F. The event will feature over 150,000 marchers along Fifth Avenue, drawing crowds of millions. Preparations include traffic closures and televised broadcasts for those unable to attend.
"At the start of the parade, it looks like we'll have some rain, but as the parade progresses it'll be more scattered in nature, and then it really does seem like it will wrap up around 2 p.m.," Fox Forecast Center Meteorologist Mathieu Blue told The Post.
"We're not expecting clouds to clear up until sunrise tomorrow morning. So kind of a gloomy day in New York," Blue said.
Despite the wet weather, New Yorkers and tourists are expected to come out in full force as this past weekend's St. Patrick's Day celebrations will culminate in the oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the world on Monday.
The parade, which begins at 11 a.m. and will end at approximately 4:30 p.m., will follow a route up Fifth Avenue starting at 44th Street - before concluding at 79th Street.
