What does the weather forecast look like for Friday?
The highs will be in the low 80s in Boston with a possibility of thunderstorms, according to the forecast from our media partner WCVB/StormCenter 5.
Part of the reason it’s rumored that Friday is the date is because the temperatures will be marginally cooler than than the scorchers predicted for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as a heat wave is set to settle over the region.
What will the parade route be?
The parade is set to begin at the front of TD Garden on Causeway Street, then roll by City Hall Plaza and Boston Common on Tremont Street before ending by the Hynes Convention Center on Boylston Street.
More details will be shared at a 1:30 p.m. press conference.
