We're still a few days out, but it appears that your Fourth of July Weekend will be full of sunshine, as the start of the new month looks to be coming in hot and dry.

June started as a scorcher, and continued to become one of the hottest (if not the hottest) June on record across Minnesota. July is looking to hold up its part of the deal.

The scattered showers and thunderstorms we enjoyed early this week are giving way to another hot, dry run for the next week or so. Temperatures look to trend above normal for the next eight to ten days.

Along with the sparklers and firecrackers, sprinklers and popsicles will be needed as we celebrate America's 245th birthday. (Maybe the heat is from all the candles.)
