4th of July Changes

The pesky upper low is pulling away… and that leaves us with a drier forecast today!  No more sprinkles/light showers!  We will still be running below average, but temps will be warmer this afternoon, with highs in the upper 70s.  Lots of couds are lingering, too.  This morning, the back edge of the cloud cover is close–just about 100 miles away!  But it’s not making much eastward progress… so they’ll be around for awhile:

But things look good for Cityfolk Fireworks at Riverscape this evening!

All week, we’ve had about a 20% chance of a spotty shower in the forecast for the holiday weekend.  And now the latest data in overnight has the storm coming farther north… which puts us in a wetter situation for Saturday:

The good news for outdoor plans… we’re forecasting mainly showers… with just a SLIGHT chance of a rumble of thunder.  So while it may be a little wet… it at least won’t be as dangerous!  Check back with EZ tonight on Channel 2 beginning at 5pm… on the CW at 10pm… and back on Channel 2 at 11pm for the latest info. 

Tomorrow, if you are heading out, the best thing to do is check LIVE DOPPLER 2X to see where the rain is.  There is also the option to “loop” the radar, so you can put it in motion and see where the rain is heading!  The northeastern Miami Valley has the best chance of staying dry…

Happy 4th of July!  Enjoy the weekend!

    I’m trying to find out if there is RTA shuttles/routes from certain areas to the fireworks tonight. Cityfolk website does not list any. I was hoping to park at UD and take the bus into town and back but cannot locate information. Any ideas?
