Although storms are possible in the afternoon, fireworks shows will be good to go when the sun is down Tuesday night.

Moisture will surge later in the week and that will bring back more widespread storms by Friday, as temperatures still warm up to the low 90s.

In the tropics, things are staying calm with no tropical development expected for at least the next few days.
