Weather should be good for July 4 fireworks celebrations, but thunderstorms are possible in and near Denver.
DENVER, CO – Weather for the week of Independence Day will be cooler than last week, with temps in the lower 90s and less dry wind – lowering the chance of grass fires in Denver and the foothills.
July 4, the Big Day itself will be partly sunny with a high near 92 during the day, dropping to 61 overnight. The National Weather Service says Metro Denver will have a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms Wednesday during the day, dropping to a 10 percent chance at night.
