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.
