Some nighttime weather fireworks on Independence Day?
A low pressure system to our northwest may pull a warm front northward on the Fourth of July. This front may serve to trigger some showers and thunderstorms, and could act as a guide-wire of sorts for any thunderstorm clusters that form in the Ohio Valley. Something Fourth of July festivity planners will want to keep an eye on is whether any of this storminess will arrive in our region by Saturday night about fireworks time. It's a coin flip or lesser chance now ... just keep an eye on things, especially national and regional radar, Saturday.
Sunday looks to be a much better chance of showers and storms (slight risk of severe weather) as a cold front moves into the region and winds, at least temporarily, turn to the southeast to build moisture. But this front will have the net effect of reinforcing the recent mild, dry weather next week, and the familiar recent pattern of high pressure in the south-central U.S. and our region in a northwest flow looks to return.
