What Will Richfield's Weather Be Like for Fourth of July Weekend?

(This article was written by Mike Schoemer.)

It's a four-day weekend, topped off with fireworks and family. 

That's a Minnesota Fourth of July. 

So, the million-dollar question is, will we have a dry moment?

The answer, in a nutshell, is yes. That's a departure from what seems to have been the norm lately, as more than 10 inches of precipitation has fallen on the Twin Cities metro since April, making it one of the wettest springs (remember, summer officially started last week) on record here.

According to the Twin Cities National Weather Service in Chanhassen, Richfield should see some nice temperatures, slightly below average. Highs should be in the low- to mid-80s, with lows in the upper 50s and 60s. Thunderstorms may roll in Saturday evening and could stay, on and off, through Monday.

That's perfect for sparklers, Snaps and those ugly, little black snakes you light off on the sidewalk.
