While some Fourth of July celebrations in Massachusetts have been affected by rain, the weather forecast for Independence Day is showing a chance of rain in the afternoon and evening, with a 20-30% probability. There is also a possibility of thunderstorms in the Berkshires. Despite the potential for rain, most of the day is expected to be partly sunny with temperatures reaching near 87 degrees. On Cape Cod, rain is not expected until early Friday morning, with the Fourth of July forecast calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 79 degrees.
In contrast, the long-range weather prediction from the Farmers’ Almanac for July 4-7 is more optimistic, suggesting that the weekend will be “generally pleasant” with fair skies. This prediction stands out as the Almanac is forecasting rain for most of the days in July. As residents and visitors prepare to celebrate the holiday, they should keep an eye on the weather updates to make sure they can enjoy the festivities and fireworks safely. Despite the rainfall, the outlook for the Fourth of July in Massachusetts remains positive, with the possibility of clear skies and warm temperatures for those looking to celebrate the holiday with friends and family.
