Wednesday's cold front and storms didn't do much to cool us down for the overnight hours. Skies will stay mostly clear to partly cloudy as we will only dip down to 73°. The oppressive humidity continues as well and should spill over into Thursday. There may even be a few isolated showers or storms that fire up after 3 or 4 a.m.
While we await the man made fireworks late in the day, Mother Nature may try to throw in a few of her own. Storm threats will be with us off and on throughout the day for the holiday and that could put a wrinkle into a few of those holiday parties.
It won't be a full washout but we may still deal with some pockets of heavier rainfall. There will be windows of dry periods so make sure you are paying attention to radar if you are outdoors. The Storm Prediction Center does have us in a marginal risk for severe storms. If anything does become severe, winds would be our probable impact.
While we cannot rule out isolated storm storm or two when fireworks shows begin after sunset, I still think a majority of the storms should be done. A lot of the area should be dry, but the isolated storms that are out there will again produce downpours and frequent lightning.
More rounds of rain are possible on Friday. The high ends up in the upper 80s with oppressive levels of humidity continuing.
