Nothing says summer like a Fourth of July weekend, and this year’s is going to be a winner.
From barbeques to beach trips to firework displays, a lot of us will be spending a lot of time outside, and we don’t have any weather worries putting our plans in jeopardy. This weekend will be as close to perfect as it gets this time of year.
A Thursday night cold front ushers in the stellar weather beginning Friday. But that cold front will also deliver a few storms Thursday evening.
They won’t be widespread, but where they do set up, they have the potential to deliver damaging wind gusts and even small- to medium-sized hail.
Once the storms exit the region Thursday evening, we’ll get an influx of dry air pouring into the tri-state as a northwest wind picks up. Not only will this make for a refreshing breeze heading into Friday, but it will send humidity way down, giving way to a dry, comfortable, and sunny Fourth of July.
In fact, July Fourth is going to be our nicest day weather-wise this entire week. High temperatures will be just about average for this time of year with very low humidity.
It will be perfect for any outdoor plans you may have from start to finish. And that includes any firework shows in the evening. Skies will be clear, winds will be light, and temperatures will be in the upper 70s. You won’t even need a sweatshirt, just a blanket or lawn chair to sit on as you watch the show.
And as if near-perfect weather for the holiday itself wasn’t enough, the weather stays dry all weekend. We hold onto the low humidity on Saturday with just a few more clouds as winds shift south. But it will get progressively hotter through the weekend. Highs will push into the 90s in some areas on Saturday, with mid-90s by Monday.
Humidity will also be on the rise by Sunday, so the beach might be a perfect place to beat the heat. Just don’t forget the SPF, the sunshine will be strong.
If you plan to travel out of state for the holiday weekend, weather across the northeast is going to be spectacular from start to finish.
It feels like mother nature is finally making up for all of those miserable rainy weekends we had this spring.
