KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
Thousands of fans are expected to attend Wednesday's Super Bowl Victory Parade in Kansas City.
The parade celebrating the Chiefs will begin at 11 a.m. on a two-mile stretch down Grand Boulevard. The parade ends at Union Station, with a victory rally expected to start there at 12:45 p.m. The ABC 17 News Stormtrack Weather Team says it will be 52 degrees when the parade starts, warming up to 63 degrees by the time it is expected to reach Union Station.

The National WWI Museum and Memorial has space for public viewing on the north lawn. Several roads are closed around the parade route, and city officials have set up places for families to meet back up if they become lost.
