Officials were considering holding the parade on Wednesday. However, unsettled weather conditions featuring rain and a wintry mix would have made watching the parade in person unpleasant.
AccuWeather is projecting plenty of sunshine with a cold breeze for the parade. Fans should wear sunglasses but also bundle up.
Actual temperatures will peak in the lower to middle 30s F for the parade. AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures will be in the upper teens to the middle 20s from the late morning into the afternoon.
For people heading into town at midweek, any wintry mix will change to rain Wednesday afternoon, then end Wednesday evening.
For fans staying in town, dry weather is forecast to hold on from Thursday into Friday and may hold into Saturday.
This was the first Super Bowl win for the Eagles in their franchise history with a final score of 41-33.
However, the team had won NFL championships prior to the creation of the Super Bowl, including against the legendary Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers in 1960.
The Eagles also faced the New England Patriots in their last Super Bowl appearance in 2004, but lost 21-24.
