AN AIR QUALITY ALERT WILL BE IN EFFECT TUESDAY FROM 10 AM TO 11 PM. THE AIR QUALITY WILL DROP INTO THE UNHEALTHY RANGE FOR LAKESHORE COUNTIES, AND THE UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS RANGE FOR INLAND COUNTIES.
Tonight's weather is nearly perfect for watching the fireworks! Late this evening temperatures will cool into the 70s and skies remain clear. Overnight lows will remain rather warm, only falling into the mid to upper 60s.
July 4th will be a hot one with highs area-wide in the low 90s. Dew points in the mid-60s will make it feel just slightly warmer. We will see plenty of sunshine through the day, but we do see the chance for at least isolated rain and storms. First, there's a chance for a few spotty showers late morning. Then, during the afternoon and evening isolated pop-up storms will develop. The main concern will be brief, heavy rain and lightning, meaning any outdoor activities will have to move indoors until storms pass. Be sure to stay weather aware and keep an eye on the radar!
There is a much better chance for rainfall when a cold front drops through the region on Wednesday. Showers and storms will move in during the late afternoon and continue into Wednesday night. Some storms could be strong Wednesday afternoon with very heavy rain, lightning, hail, or gusty winds. Wednesday will still be very warm with highs in the upper 80s, and it will be humid.
Rain will exit the area early Thursday. Highs are expected to be a bit cooler at the end of the week - in the upper 70s & lower 80s.
