Weather: Sunny days are ahead!
The Fourth of July in the D.C. area will be full of sunshine, good weather and celebrations.
On Friday, it’ll be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s. It’ll be dry and less humid than the past week had been in the region.
“Grab the sunglasses, you’ll definitely need them. Hardly a cloud in the sky,” 7News First Alert meteorologist Steve Rudin said.
Clear skies will last through the night, so fireworks revelers will have a great sight. Temperatures will drop into the 60s by nightfall with light winds up to 10 mph.
FREE BEER. NO, REALLY. FREE BEER.
If you cannot make the parade, the Nats are giving away free beer at the 4th of July game at Nats Park. Details here.
Here’s the UPDATED urn map
