A wet and potentially stormy 4th of July forecast is casting a shadow over the iconic New York City fireworks display. According to the latest predictions, a low-pressure system is expected to bring heavy rain and strong gusts of wind to the city on Independence Day, threatening to disrupt the annual celebration. The National Weather Service has issued a chance of thunderstorms for the evening, which could impact the viewing experience for the estimated 500,000 people who gather along the Hudson River to watch the fireworks. With the city's outdoor festivities already scaled back due to COVID-19, a rain-soaked 4th of July could be a disappointing end to the holiday weekend.
