The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Dew points gradually climb as we head into the holiday weekend with plenty of heat as well! Our 4th of July today looks partly sunny and hot, with isolated early/mid-morning showers and afternoon thunderstorms possible. Today is also a CLEAN AIR ACTION DAY and AIR QUALITY ALERT due to higher ozone levels. Try not to operate any gas powered equipment...it helps with air quality here at the surface. Our fireworks forecast looks dry and mostly clear, but warm this evening! Thunderstorm chances build this weekend, with the best opportunity on Sunday as a cold front moves in (but some areas may get missed again). Watch for feels like temperatures in the mid 90s on Saturday! Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
