4th Of July Forecast: Thunderstorm Threat To Decrease Through Week
BOSTON (CBS) -- Optimism is growing for the weather on the Fourth of July.
While we remain stuck in a very humid and stormy pattern, it appears as though the cloud cover and number of thunderstorms will decrease as the week goes on.
Check: Latest Conditions
Showers and storms will be most numerous and widespread on Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday, a big "Bermuda High" pressure area will begin to push westward and likely push the thunderstorm threat west as well.

So the greatest threat for wet weather will be well inland, in western New England. We cannot rule out a stray or isolated thunderstorm drifting into eastern sections but for the most part we should stay dry Wednesday and Thursday!

I expect high temperatures in the mid 80's on Wednesday and upper 80's on Thursday with plenty of sunshine and fairly high humidity as well.
Winds will be 5 to 15-mph out of the west both days. Temperatures will not cool off much for nighttime firework displays, they will only fall slowly through the 80's.
