TAMPA - You might want to bundle up early for the Gasparilla events on Saturday, but overall the forecast calls for a good day to watch a parade.

There's no mention of rain in the forecast, though it's unlikely a bit of rain would drown out a bunch of pirates. It will be partly cloudy throughout the day.

There could be a chill, depending on when you intend to show up, especially if you are a pre-dawn arrival. It also could be a bit more chilly near the water.

Here's a breakdown of the National Weather Service forecast for Saturday, though keep in mind it can change.
