High dewpoints will keep the air feeling muggy and daytime heating this afternoon and early evening will fuel scattered showers and thunderstorms in the same way they did Wednesday.

Once we lose daytime heating with sunset, any storms should die out so that will work in favor of a dry fireworks forecast.

More the same pattern in store Friday and Saturday before a cold front moves through and leads to dry weather to start Monday.
