Independence Day Forecast Update


The first half of the holiday weekend should be partly cloudy and pleasant, with temperatures near seasonable averages. Afternoon highs Friday and Saturday will be in the mid- to upper-80's, with morning temperatures in the mid-60's. Saturday evening, there will be a slight chance for a couple of isolated showers and storms popping up, but these should be of the hit-or-miss variety.

By early Sunday, though, our next storm system will be moving into the state, bringing more widespread chances for showers and thunderstorms. A few of those storms may be severe across the southern third of the state, with damaging winds and large hail possible. At this time, it looks like the rain and storms should exit the Commonwealth by late Sunday night.
Have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!
