Rain, thunder likely on Fourth of July in Austin
Posted: Sat, 3 Jul 2010 07:23 PM - 8,693 Readers
By: Tim Ruzek
Rain on Austin's parade? It's looking like a possibility Sunday
during the community's annual Independence Day parade that runs from
north to south on Main Street as well as as for both nights of
fireworks. Unfortunately, the poor weather is being projected as
the Spamtown USA Freedom Fest celebrates its 25th anniversary, which has
led to plans this year for a larger-than-usual fireworks display Sunday
night. About 20,000 to 25,000 people are expected to take in the
parade and fireworks Sunday. As of Friday, however, showers and
thunderstorms were forecasted as "likely" Sunday but mainly after 1
p.m., according to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, Wis.
There's a 70 percent chance of thunderstorms Sunday during the day and a
50 percent chance of storms Sunday night. Austin's parade starts
at 11 a.m., possibly helping it avoid any storm effects. Entertainment
at the bandshell, though, is slated to start at 1 p.m. and continue
until 10 p.m. Sunday. Fireworks begin at dusk. A fireworks
display also is planned for dusk today at the bandshell but there's a
30 percent chance of thunderstorms tonight, with a low temperature of 68
degrees. Today also is Family Day in the Park, featuring art
exhibits, food, a beer garden and entertainment from 2 p.m. to 10:30
p.m. at the bandshell. Most of today is supposed to be rain-free but
breezy, with highs in the upper 80s. More thunderstorms are a
possibility Monday — the observed holiday for many workers because
Independence Day falls on Sunday this year.
