What’s the first thing you do when you’re trying to plan for any holiday? Well, one of the first things is checking the forecast. If you’re wanting to be outside for the fireworks tonight or the 4^th tomorrow, you’re in luck! The weather conditions will hold up as high pressure grabs hold of the region.

Along the border today, mainly south in northern Illinois, a few pop-up showers or storms will be possible. The influence of the high will help lead to dry weather and mild temperatures in the mid-70s. Fireworks time at 9:25pm in Milwaukee, temperatures will fall to the low to mid 60s, depending on your location.

A slight chance of a shower or a storm tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night is possible. I would expect good weather for parades or any outdoor activities. To play it safe, just throw the umbrella or poncho into the car. They will be spotty at best.
