It's one of the most important forecasts of the year, even despite our new 2020 norms. Independence Day barbecues, pool parties, beach and boating trips, and, of course, any firework shows all hinge on the weather coming up this weekend.

 

For those observing July 4th on Friday, expect a steamy day!

FRIDAY
•    Sun and clouds. Hot and humid. Afternoon and eevening scattered storms. Highs 83 to 90 degrees. A backdoor cold front will bring afternoon and evening scattered storms.

FRIDAY NIGHT
•    Mostly cloudy with some showers and storms. Lows 65 to 70.

That backdoor cold front will cool things down to seasonable levels for Independence Day Saturday.
