The humidity will be very noticeable as dewpoints are in the 60s/70s making it feel very muggy through the weekend. Then more showers and storms will be likely Sunday.
If you're going boating or any other outdoor activities, keep a very close eye on the sky and radar as rain can happen at any moment throughout the weekend. Fireworks weather after sundown on both days will be hit or miss.
More rain is expected for Monday with highs in the upper 70s, so it is looking soggy for most of the holiday weekend. The driest day appears to be Tuesday, the actual holiday.
Partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-80s with lower humidity levels. This will be the best day for any of those outdoor events including grilling and fireworks!
After the holiday is over, the skies remain dry but hot.
Highs approach the upper 80s with the return of humidity. More isolated showers and storms could be possible for Thursday.
