July 4th Forecast: Thunderstorms? When Are You Going To Celebrate?

The weather for the week ahead looks beautiful except for Wednesday! What will you do to celebrate if the thunder comes rolling in?

Predicting the weather almost a week in advance can be tricky, as anyone who knows anything about the weather can tell you.

But the advance forecast for July 4th is out, and while the majority of the week looks near perfect with sun, a few clouds and temperatures in the mid- to upper-80s, the actual holiday is a 50-50 chance of severe thunderstorms.

Which raises the question, with the holiday falling on a Wednesday this year, when do you plan to celebrate? On that day or maybe the following weekend? Or is it (as we believe) the entire week?

Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
