Partly Cloudy Forecast for Sunday's Holiday Parade in Newtown

Looks like the weather will cooperate for Newtown’s annual Holiday Parade, which is Sunday.

A soggy Saturday is predicted, with the Weather Channel calling for a 100 percent chance of rain that day. However, the second half of the weekend looks to be dry.

The Weather Channel is predicting partly-cloudy skies and high temperatures in the low 40s for the Sunday. As of Friday, forecasters said there was just a 10 percent chance of rain on Sunday.

The annual tradition, organized by the Newtown Business Association and sponsored by McCaffrey’s, features a variety of floats, entertainment and community organizations.

The parade begins at 2 p.m. at The Stocking Works and travels down State Street and then to Sycamore, where it ends at Goodnoe Corner.

Weather doesn’t typically stop the parade festivities, though.

Rain and snow are possible Monday, as forecasters are calling for a possible nor’easter event early in the week.
