Winter Storm Boreas could produce sustained winds of 15-20 mph and gusts up to 35 mph. New York City rules state that the trademark balloons can not be in the air if sustained winds exceed 23 mph or gusts exceed 34 mph, weather.com said.

Parade officials will continue to monitor weather conditions and said it is too early to make a determination at this time, according to weather.com.
