 For the 4th of July, a lot going on around here. Partly cloudy skies. A good chance for a few showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Fingers crossed by 908 will keep the storms away from the metro area. High temperatures 90 to 95 with heat index values around 100. Even hotter on Friday.
