MA Weather: Fourth Of July Forecast, Fireworks Viewing Conditions
It's not just about temperatures and dryness, but how clear the skies will be for fireworks viewing.
As far as Fourth of July weather is concerned, you can't ask for more than this. Forecasters are calling for lovely pool and cookout temperatures, no rain, and a clear night sky for a pristine fireworks viewing experience. Thursday, July 4, is expected to sit comfortably in the 80s, with a few clouds, no precipitation and a light breeze. The temperatures will settle into the mid-to-high 70s at night, when many communities, including of course Boston, will set off a dazzling display of fireworks.
AccuWeather said the "real-feel" temperature, which is a more accurate representation of how warm it feels, will be between 90 and 100 degrees Thursday. It could very well be a perfect beach day.
The days sandwiching the Fourth could be beautiful beach days, too. Wednesday is expected to be in the mid-to-high 80s and sunny. Friday might get up to 90 degrees.
