"There will be a slight east breeze that will bring a few showers on shore," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "Some thunderstorms can be expected. The coverage will be at 50 percent after noon."

Rain chances drop to 20 percent around 9 p.m., just in time for fireworks.

"Always make sure if you’re outdoors at this time of year that you have a plan to find a safe place indoors. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors," Bridges said.
