 For NPR News in the Twin Cities, I'm Emily Reese. Organizers of Fourth of July events, large and small, across Minnesota are keeping a close eye on the weather forecast. And at this point, it's not looking great for outdoor activities. NPR News meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says Thursday may start out dry in the morning, but rain is expected later in the day. We're going to see widespread showers and thunderstorms develop Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. And we're going to be looking at the potential for some locally heavy rainfall again.
