Tens of thousands of people will line the streets of Los Angeles for the Kings' victory parade this afternoon.
Despite a gloomy start, folks heading to the parade will want to have sunglasses handy.
While weather conditions will be typical for the Los Angeles area for June, morning clouds will yield to afternoon sunshine over much of the basin.
Only the beaches will stay under the clouds much of the day.
Temperatures will be ideal for viewing the parade with readings forecast to plateau in the 70s. Winds will be light.
The parade begins at the intersection of Figueroa and West 5th Street and concludes at the Staples Center, approximately 1 mile away.
The focus for severe storms will move into the Ohio Valley and resume over New York state on Wednesday.
So far this year California has seen 1,569 wildfires, 85 percent more than in an average year.
The Memorial Day weekend will begin cool, windy and rainy in New England and part of the mid-Atlantic.
GOES-East failed again late Tuesday. It is one of the main satellites meteorologists use for the eastern part of the United States and the tropical Atlantic.
The tornado tore through a path 17 miles long on Monday and had wind speeds as high as 200 mph.
On the two-year anniversary of the EF-5 tornado that leveled Joplin, Mo., the town has deployed assistance to Moore, Okla.
