The Fourth of July is starting mostly sunny and warm in metro Denver, but a few fireworks in the form of thunder storms are expected to develop in the afternoon.

There will be afternoon storm chances each day for the holiday weekend. The good news is the storms will be widely scattered along the Front Range. So, many places could stay dry and miss out on the hit-and-miss storms.
