The city of San Francisco has planned its celebratory Giants parade for 11am Wednesday morning, and one thing that always has to be a concern - especially in the bay area - is the quality of the weather. I was in Boston for the 2004 Red Sox parade, for example, and that took place on a cold, rainy morning. It didn’t kill the mood, but it didn’t improve it, either.
Forecast For Ticker-Tape Giants Parade Calls For Nice Weather
Well, turns out the Giants and the people of San Francisco have nothing to worry about - the Wednesday forecast is glorious. According to weather.com, it should be sunny and somewhere between 68-76 degrees for the duration of the festivities, which is practically perfect. Forget umbrellas and forget layering; those are t-shirt conditions if ever there have been t-shirt conditions.
Despite the Monday night riots, it’s expected that the Wednesday parade and celebration should go off without incident. The biggest problem’s likely to be either cleanup of all the confetti, or figuring out the transportation for so many countless thousands of people. To accommodate the crowds, there will be two extra Larkspur ferries, six extra metro trains, and extra cars added to BART trains. These services will be provided for the duration.
No traffic will be allowed on the parade section of Market Street during the event, and the garage at the Civic Center will be closed to general parking.
