Did anyone proofread this article before posting?
The parade was postponed and instead to take place on Monday December 26. Wasn't the parade always to take place on Monday December 26?
First Alert Weather to range between 71 and 71 degrees Fahrenheit. Huh?

It's Monday, the parade will begin at 6pm tonight, the weather is bad already, and it is expected to be even worse than last night.
