The upcoming July 4th weekend looks fairly typical across the US with plenty of heat, humidity and a Plains low triggering widespread thunderstorm activity. After all it wouldn’t be July 4th weekend without ‘natural fireworks’ in the forecast…

Due to the presence of a storm system centred over the west-central Plains, will enhance thunderstorm activity across the Mid-South and Southeast with high heat and humidity from Texas to the Carolinas. Just east of the center, eastern Kansas and northern Missouri especially could see a flooding rain event and a cooler rain north of the front.
