Summer officially begins this year on June 21, 2023, which means Independence Day is right around the corner. Everyone is excited to watch fireworks displays this year—but will Mother Nature cooperate, or will she be conducting her own fireworks? It looks “iffy” for some of our weather zones. Don’t make any plans without checking our weather predictions for your region!
