Expect thunderstorms early this week. A look at Fourth of July week forecast
Despite rain early in the week, your Fourth of July cookout should be (mostly) dry.
Intense storms, then cooler temperatures, are expected from June 30 through July 6, following last week's eight days of 90 degrees or higher – something the National Weather Service said it hasn't seen since 2012.
Conditions should dry up and cool down between July 1 through July 3, he said, as highs are expected in the mid-80s.
Some thunderstorms are possible from July 4 to July 6 as temperatures are expected to rise. The weather on Friday seems typical for a Fourth of July and most people should stay dry, according to the National Weather Service.
"I wouldn't cancel any plans for Friday," Ryan said.
Temperatures will be close to 90 until July 6. Those outside on Friday should wear light-colored clothes and step inside every now and then, Ryan said.

How could rain impact July 4th in the Tampa Bay area? Here's the latest timeline
The Brief Tropical downpours are expected later this week, including on the Fourth of July, according to FOX 13 meteorologists. A disturbance in the northeastern Gulf has a 20 percent chance of development, and will act as a rainmaker either way. The highest rain chances come later this week, including Friday. TAMPA, Fla. - July 4th will likely come with rain as part of an unsettled week of weather in the Tampa Bay area. FOX 13 meteorologists say an area of low pressure in the northeastern Gulf is leading to an increased chance of downpours over the next several days. The National Hurricane Center is giving the disturbance a 30 percent chance of development in the next seven days – but whether it develops or not, meteorologists say it will act as a rainmaker. Big picture view FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says rain and storms will arrive later on Tuesday compared to Monday, with the highest coverage of rain coming in the PM hours. The high temperature will reach the upper 80s in Tampa – down from the average high of 91.

That should bring more waves of rain our way in time for Independence Day as deep tropical moisture moves over Central Florida. As of Tuesday morning, rain chances are expected to reach 70 percent on Thursday and Friday, with several inches of total rainfall expected over the next week. As for whether the whole Fourth of July will be a washout for everyone: not necessarily, according to Osterberg. "It's important to note that during this whole wet pattern, it's not going to rain all day every day," Osterberg said. Still, rain will be something to watch for through the holiday weekend and into next week, as well. The Source This story was written with information from FOX 13 meteorologists.
