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.

While a cold front impacting the East on Thursday will have moved out by Friday, that doesn’t mean clear skies for everyone’s Fourth of July festivities.

Umbrellas, raincoats, and canopies filled more than 2.5 miles of the city's Main St. as hundreds of parade-goers turned up for the 89th annual 4th Fest of Greater Racine.
