Memorial Day Weather Forecast Improves
The National Weather Service, NYC has forecasted a better day tomorrow in Westport.
"A chance of drizzle or light rain, mainly before 8am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 67. Northwest wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%."
Chances of rain will quickly lessen after sunrise, going from a 30% chance at 7:00 AM to just a 19% chance at 8:00 AM. By noon, chances will be less than 10%.
After a weekend that drenched the community, Memorial Day honors will most likely be given the go ahead as Mother Nature gives Westport a chance at drying out.
The Westport Memorial Day Parade begins at 9:00 AM from Saugatuck Elementary School, and will continue to Post Road and Myrtle Avenue, ending at Town Hall. The Town of Westport will announce the parade’s cancellation if needed early tomorrow morning.
