4th of July (Friday): We will see overcast skies this morning slowly brighten as the morning progresses and we should see some splashes of sunshine from midday through the afternoon - especially across the Mid and Upper Cape. There's a chance of a passing shower at any point but most of the area should be rain-free most of the time. Highs will be in the mid 70s, though winds will turn to the north and drive some cooler air into parts of the area, especially the Outer Cape near P-Town and Truro where some patches of fog could also develop with the onshore flow. If you are headed out, check the local radar.

Friday Night: Expect mostly cloudy skies with a few areas of fog possible late. A passing shower or thunderstorm is possible, especially late at night. Lows will be in the 60s. For evening fireworks and cookouts, things look OK and there shouldn't be any showers widespread enough to cancel an event.

Saturday: We will see showers and thunderstorms in the morning, followed by developing sunshine, warmer and more humid conditions. The abundance of moisture could help set off a few more storms late in the day. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s. North to northeast winds will gradually shift to the southeast and then south. Overall, not a terrible day...call it a 6 on scale of 1 to 10.
