Confidence is still low in the timing and placement of scattered storms by Friday (July 4). Long-term models smooth data to make it look like we have a decent evening chance, though short-term models slow the storms' advancement east and keep us from rain until very late.

Looking ahead at our Independence Day Forecast, Thursday should be clear for the Uncle Sam Jam, but storm chances hit the forecast starting on Friday. #NEwx #KLKN
