Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Britley Ritz is TRACKING the holiday weekend forecast. She has the latest TIMING of when we could see our next chance for rain this morning on News Center 7 Daybreak from 4:25 a.m. until 7 a.m.

TRENDING STORIES:

We are starting our Fourth of July with mostly clear and hazy skies due to the ozone and some firework smoke.

Ritz says it will be partly cloudy with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s today. While a stray shower or storm is possible, MOST will stay dry.

Highs will reach the low 90s throughout the weekend. There is a chance of a stray storm on Saturday, but the better chances are on Sunday with an approaching cold front, according to Ritz.

Storm Center 7 will update this story.
