Rain is in the forecast for much of the Fourth of July, but it isn't expected to impact the fireworks shows scheduled for Friday evening. Oklahoma City has a 30% chance or higher of precipitation until 6 p.m., while cities like Clinton, Lawton, Seymour and Vernon will remain near a 50% chance for much of the daylight hours.

Rainfall July 2 was heavy, and rains will be similar the rest of the week, said Stephen Shiveley, an NWS meteorologist in Ruskin.

The Fourth of July holiday will feature plenty of clouds and periods of rain and storms. A washout is not expected, but coverage will be higher than typical for early July. The rain and storms could impact outdoor activities and fireworks displays,
