What to know <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then, colder air rushes in on Thursday, causing temperatures to drop to the 40s. Gusts between 20 to 30 mph are possible, which will make it feel much chillier, according to PIX11 meteorologists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That begs the question \u2013 will balloons still be able to fly during the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/pix11.com\/weather\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NYC forecast and PIX11\u2019s Weather Center;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\"> NYC forecast and PIX11\u2019s Weather Center <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Balloons don\u2019t fly if sustained winds exceed 23 mph, with gusts more than 34 mph. PIX11 meteorologists said that it doesn\u2019t appear that conditions will surpass those limits, meaning balloons should still be able to fly \u2013 although likely much closer to the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Chilly temperatures will stay in the tri-state area through Black Friday, with highs only reaching the mid-40s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Erin Pflaumer is a digital content producer from Long Island who has covered both local and national news since 2018.
