Rhode Island Fourth Of July Forecast: Clear Skies For Fireworks

Fourth of July is just a few days away, and the weather forecast is looking clear for celebrations in Rhode Island. The National Weather Service predicts a hot, mostly sunny day, with no chance of showers to dampen backyard barbecues or delay fireworks.

The forecast calls for a scorcher, with highs close to 90 degrees and little to no wind after the morning hours. Accuweather said the "real-feel" temperature is likely going to be 95, making for a perfect day to spend in the pool or at the beach.

A warm, partly cloudy evening, is expected for the fireworks, with lows in the mid-60s and little to no wind.

If you're on vacation this week, consider hitting the beach Wednesday or Friday, because early forecasts are showing another weekend of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The weekdays, meanwhile, are expected to be clear sailing.
