I suppose everyone has plans for the holiday coming up. It’s kind of a bummer the Fourth is on a Tuesday. Should you stay up late for the fireworks and go to work weary-eyed Wednesday? Or, maybe you take the day off.
If you are eying the weather forecast before making your decision, here we go. Today and Friday expect few morning clouds and highs in the 80s. Clouds return Saturday and highs drop into the 70s. Sunday’s a repeat of Saturday. Monday, more marine air filters inland, and we have a chance of some drizzle.
The Fourth has morning clouds, afternoon sunshine and probably those brisk northwest winds in the evening for fireworks. You might need a sweatshirt or light jacket, if not for the cool breeze, then for the multitude of mosquitoes out right now. Whatever the weather, we enjoy the festivities. We haven’t had rain on the Fourth of July for nearly 20 years.
If you are camping out at the coast Saturday through Tuesday, the morning clouds will be more persistent. Expect some drizzle or light rain Sunday through the Fourth. It won’t be anything big, just the usual coastal weather. Pack accordingly.
