The D.C. region will likely be dealing with scattered rain and thunderstorms during the day Sunday, but those hoping to catch a fireworks display are in luck, as evening conditions look clearer.
Storm Team4 meteorologist Somara Theodore said after the sun goes down, the rain chances will decrease. However, she said, there is still the chance for a stray rain shower during Sunday night’s fireworks.
Independence Day will bring a warming trend along with isolated to scattered showers through the day. Cannot rule out a couple isolated thunderstorms, particularly west of I-95. Most showers should weaken by sundown. #MDwx #VAwx #DCwx #WVwx pic.twitter.com/an54EtJ90W
