NEW ORLEANS — WWL-TV will be streaming the Knights of Babylon, Knights of Chaos and Krewe of Muses live from Gallier Hall!

Thursday's weather forecast initially put the parades at risk, but it looks like all three parades will roll without any issues -- save a little rain.

You can track the progress of the parades with WWL-TV's parade tracker that is a free download for your Apple or Android phone.

You can see a full schedule of parades here.

The parade season has gone fairly well so far, though there were two mishaps. Friday night there was a power outage along the parade route. Video shows a confetti cannon firing right before an apparent transformer is blown on a nearby power pole. Power was restored in about an hour.

Saturday night, a float in the Krewe of Pygmalion had its 'Jester Head' torn off by a tree as it rolled. A rider fell off of the float, causing a 30-minute delay.

Friday and Saturday's weather also wasn't perfect, with drizzly rain and cool to cold temperatures along with a brisk wind.
