Happy Independence Day. Several local events will offer spectacular fireworks displays. Here are some of the best places to enjoy the festivities:
Stafford’s 4th of July Spectacular: Held at John Lee Pratt Memorial Park, this event features a variety of activities, culminating in a fireworks display at nightfall. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and attendees can enjoy live music, food vendors, and children’s activities. Parking is available on-site.
A nearby frontal boundary will bring chances of daily showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. The cold front will move through the area on Saturday before stalling overhead, allowing precipitation chances to continue through midweek.
For the 4th of July, expect showers, thunderstorms, and hot and humid conditions. The primary threats with thunderstorms today will be damaging wind gusts and flash flooding.
Happy Independence Day. Celebrate honorably.
