Widespread thunderstorms will add plenty of natural fireworks to the skies over the U.S. this Independence Day, with mostly dry weather for the southern Plains and Southwest.
Independence Day will start out with showers and thunderstorms for the Pacific Northwest, northern and central Plains, and Upper Mississippi Valley. A few rain showers may be present in the Southeast and across the southern Rockies as well.
By the early afternoon hours Monday, additional thunderstorms will develop throughout the Rocky Mountains and central Plains, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds with them. These storms will persist into the evening hours, potentially interfering with fireworks displays.
Thunderstorms will also rumble across the Upper Mississippi Valley during the afternoon hours. These storms could organize into a line and produce damaging winds as they move across the Midwest, and could also interfere with fireworks displays in the region.
Deep moisture and afternoon heating will work together to produce thunderstorms in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, a few of which may last into the evening hours and causing trouble with local fireworks displays.
The Northeast will have few issues Monday evening, though a few rain showers may sneak into upstate New York. The southern Plains and Southwest will be largely dry on Monday overall, with drying conditions for the Upper Mississippi Valley and northern Plains by Monday evening.
Temperatures on Independence Day will be well below average in the west and slightly above average for the central Plains. Highs will be in the 60s and 70s for the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest, with 70s and 80s for the Intermountain West, Northern Plains, and Northeast, 80s and 90s for the central Plains, Midwest, Mississippi River Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and 90s and 100s for the Desert Southwest and southern Plains.
