Yeah we are getting tortured with the heat. These storms won’t help with anything but cause more inconvenience.

Speaking of heat, the Independence Day Parade in Washington D.C. was cancelled due to extreme heat. Hope there is not a Derecho there during fireworks time.

Severe thunderstorm watch here and now severe thunderstorm warning. These temps about to plummet oh yes.

Boston’s 4th of July show with the Boston Pops was delayed due to severe storms in the area.
