Dry night seen for parade

Decatur Daily Democrat:

The rain which fell in Decatur this morning is expected to be long gone by tonight, with some rather nice weather predicted for the Callithumpian Parade in Decatur.

The official start time for the annual event is 6:57 p.m.

The National Weather Services says parade-goers can expect mostly clear skies with temperatures in the low 40s — heading to an eventual low of around 32 degrees — for the start of the parade, which is expected to draw thousands of people to the downtown area. Various sizes and shapes of chairs were situated as early as Sunday night as people picked out their spots to watch the event.
