7/1 - 11am - Go 4th and Get... Soaked?

After a relatively dry and warm Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Friday doesn't look too good. The GFS is painting some small spots of very heavy rain on the map for July 4th, and it makes sense why. A front is going to get stuck just north of us and we'll get any of the rain that generates ahead of it, which will be isolated. These will be slow moving storms due to the lack of a push from the front, so any area that gets one of these storms is in for a pretty big amount of rain. I don't think we'll see much in the way of severe weather, other than one of these isolated storms could reach severe limits for a little while. I can't really tell you when these storms will happen since they'll be so isolated, but I would guess the afternoon would be prime due to the heating of the day.

If you can dodge some of these storms and make it out dry on the 4th, temperatures will hold in the low to mid 80's around the area. Maybe the rain will clear out just before nightfall so that you can shoot off your fireworks. Watch out for some natural fireworks though, lightning!
