The holiday weekend ahead will be picture perfect for nearly any type of outdoor activity, with the caveat that it will start off with some stormy weather on Friday evening/night. This batch of storms may impact travelers as they make their getaway from the city, but once they pass, the rest of the weekend will be a real gem. Any fireworks displays not scheduled for Friday night should go off without a hitch.
Rest of today – warm with a light breeze from the northwest, less humid, high in the mid-80s with sunny conditions.
Friday – mostly cloudy, high around 80ºF, increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms especially toward the afternoon and evening hours. Some of these storms could produce gusty winds. Storms continue into early overnight hours.
Saturday – sunny, high in the low-80s.
Sunday – clone of Saturday, high in the low-80s. High pressure begins to dominate the weather over the region.
Monday (Independence Day) – another sunny, spotless day, with highs in the low-80s.
