Storms Might Threaten July 4th Festivities In The Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — There's a possibility of thunderstorms on Tuesday, say meteorologists looking at next week's weather. That could affect Fourth of July fireworks and outings in the Hudson Valley. The issue is how fast and how big the weather system they're watching will be.

The forward speed of this storm system is questionable but could be detrimental to outdoor activities from the middle of the nation to the mid-Atlantic states and New England, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said Thursday.

"A fast-moving storm may allow clearing in part of the Midwest but cause the holiday to be ruined in part of the Northeast," Anderson said.

One thing they feel more confident about: it'll feel like summer. Much of the Northeast can expect average warmth and humidity with highs mainly in the 80s, AccuWeather predicted.
