Tens of millions of Americans will be venturing outdoors Tuesday night, staring skyward as Independence Day fireworks dazzle onlookers far and wide. Here’s your region-by-region forecast.
Scattered thunderstorms are likely for much of the East Coast, with a lingering cold front keeping conditions unsettled from Downeast Maine to the Florida Peninsula. Severe thunderstorms are expected for parts of the Plains and Upper Midwest, the same area at risk for heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding.In the Desert Southwest and Pacific Northwest, the issue won’t stem from thunder or lightning, but rather from dangerous heat.
A heat advisory remains in effect for coastal Oregon, Northern California and southwest Washington state.A weak wave of low pressure will be strung out near the coastline during the day. That, combined with a pocket of cold air and spin aloft, will give rise to scattered afternoon thunderstorms. They’ll be most prevalent in southeastern New England — Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island — closer to the lingering cold front. There is a marginal risk of gusty winds with any of the storms.
Highs will range from the upper 60s to near 70 in Montana to around 90 in the lower terrain of New Mexico. All in all, highs will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than average for the northern Rockies, and a few degrees milder than typical south of a cold front across the southern Rockies.For parts of the Pacific Northwest just inland from the coast, heat advisories are in effect, with highs 10 to 15 degrees above average.
