1DegreeOutside: ‘Showers and thunder gradually wane around and after sundown’
With many off today, July 3rd – and more hoping to see fireworks this evening – a chance of storms, some severe, isn’t a welcome forecast. @mattnoyes says many storms dwindle the deeper into the evening we go – some luck for your location is involved: https://t.co/VJAmDgoeV4 pic.twitter.com/jFIXqrAGNc
