Scattered Storms Possible Ahead Of 4th Of July Fireworks
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Before fireworks burst over the Twin Cities for the Fourth of July, there's a chance scattered storms could roll through the metro in afternoon hours.
Meteorologist Kylie Bearse says revelers out on the lake for Independence Day might have to dock the boat during the late afternoon and early evening.
But by nightfall, skies should be clear across most of the state.
"I think these [storms] will be few and far between," Bearse said.
