It’s going to be wet, warm and humid on the Fourth of July, “less than ideal” weather for what is typically an outdoor holiday, one meteorologist said.
“There’s going to be some times where you can barbecue outside, but it’s definitely not ideal,” Andrew Loconto, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the Herald.
The best bet for outdoor activity this holiday weekend is Saturday, when there will be less cloud coverage and drier temperatures in the mid-80s, Loconto said.
After that, things get a bit dicey, with a wet and humid stretch of days from Sunday to Tuesday.
Temperatures will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s on Sunday, and in the upper 80s on Monday and Tuesday with nighttime lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.
The most rain will be seen from late Sunday into Monday, with a bit drier weather on the holiday itself, on Tuesday, Loconto said.
“There’ll be several periods of rain, but there will also be times where it’s drier overall, too,” Loconto said of Independence Day. “It’s more or less just like some scattered showers and storms to dodge, versus it being a total washout.”
