Fireworks Likely to Go On Despite Rainy Forecast for July 4th
Hold onto your sparklers, New York City! The CBS New York First Alert Weather Team says while it might be a little damp, the Fourth of July fireworks are still a go!
Today’s Forecast (July 3rd)
Alright, folks, get ready for a toasty one! Today’s gonna be a scorcher, way hotter and stickier than the past few days. We’re talking classic NYC summer vibes. Think about busting out those portable fans because trust me, you’ll need ’em.
And hey, what’s a summer day in the city without a little drama? We might see some thunderstorms rolling in later today, especially as we head into the evening. Now, don’t go canceling your picnic plans just yet. We’re not expecting anything too crazy in terms of severe weather. But, and this is a big but, keep an eye out for those heavy downpours. You know how it is, one minute it’s sunny, the next you’re soaked to the bone.
Oh, and a heads-up for all you beach bums: the rip current risk is gonna be pretty high today. So, maybe admire the waves from afar, yeah?
July 4th Forecast
So, you’re probably wondering, what’s the deal with the Fourth? Well, good news first: we should see some sunshine peeking through the clouds. The bad news? That humidity isn’t going anywhere, folks. Get ready for a sweltering one, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 80s. It’s gonna feel like a sauna out there!
And because Mother Nature loves a good plot twist, there’s a chance of – you guessed it – thunderstorms, especially as we get into the evening. But don’t despair, my friends, the fireworks are still on (more on that in a bit!).
Fireworks Forecast: Will They or Won’t They?
Okay, let’s talk turkey, or should I say, fireworks. The big question on everyone’s mind is: will those dazzling pyrotechnics light up the sky or be rained out? Here’s the lowdown:
As the sun sets, things are gonna get a little…soupy. We’re expecting mostly cloudy skies, muggy conditions, and the chance of a few showers and maybe even a rumble of thunder. Now, here’s where things get interesting. Those pop-up thunderstorms we talked about? They’re expected to make an appearance inland in the afternoon, around that – p.m. mark, and then saunter their way towards the coast by dusk. But wait, there’s more! The good news is that these storms are a bunch of quitters and are expected to fizzle out faster than you can say “Happy Fourth!”.
So, what does this mean for the fireworks? Well, there’s still a slight chance, about %, that a rogue thunderstorm could crash the party. But fear not, my friends, because the odds are in our favor.

So, what does this mean for the fireworks? Well, there’s still a slight chance, about twenty percent, that a rogue thunderstorm could crash the party. But fear not, my friends, because the odds are in our favor.
My advice? Channel your inner boy scout and be prepared. Toss a poncho or a compact umbrella in your bag, just in case. But don’t let a little rain dampen your spirits (or your outfit). It’s the Fourth of July, people! Let’s celebrate!
Weekend Forecast: A Bit of Everything
Alright, let’s break down the rest of the weekend, shall we? Friday is gonna be a continuation of Thursday’s theme: partly sunny, crazy humid, and yeah, you guessed it, more chances of thunderstorms. And we’re not just talking about your average sprinkle. Some of these storms could bring some serious downpours, so keep those umbrellas handy. Temperatures will still be hanging out in the mid to upper 80s, but with the humidity, it’s gonna feel more like a sauna. You’ve been warned!
Saturday’s looking pretty similar, with the chance of storms sticking around. Think partly sunny, sticky, and warm – basically, your typical July day in New York City. Highs will again be in the mid to upper 80s. But hey, look on the bright side: at least it’s not snowing, right? Plus, neither day is expected to be a complete washout, so there will be plenty of opportunities to squeeze in some fun outdoor activities between the raindrops.
But wait, it gets better! Sunday is looking like a real winner, with more sunshine than we’ve seen all week and – drumroll, please – almost zero chance of rain. That’s right, you heard me correctly. It’s the perfect day to hit up a rooftop bar, have a picnic in Central Park, or finally break out that new bathing suit and head to the beach. Temperatures will be sizzling in the upper 80s to low 90s, so slather on that sunscreen, folks.
Hurricane Beryl: A Faraway Thriller
Now, let’s talk about something a little more exotic: Hurricane Beryl. This storm’s been making headlines lately, and for good reason. It recently flexed its muscles and reached Category 5 status before calming down a bit to a still-powerful Category 3. Beryl brushed past Jamaica on Wednesday, bringing some heavy rain and gusty winds, but thankfully, it didn’t cause any major damage.
So, where’s Beryl headed next? Well, it’s expected to weaken a bit more as it churns its way through the Caribbean and is likely to make landfall along the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday morning. After that, it’s anyone’s guess, but some forecasters are saying it might make a third landfall along the Texas/Mexico border early next week. The good news is that Beryl is not expected to pose any threat to the East Coast, so New Yorkers can breathe a sigh of relief.
