DFW Weather: Fireworks Impact and 4th of July Forecast

Weather's Impact on Fireworks

• 💡 Higher humidity causes smoke to linger closer to the ground, which is not ideal for fireworks viewing.
• 💨 Light winds are preferred to carry smoke away from spectators, but winds exceeding 20-30 mph can lead to delays or cancellations.
• ⚡ While rain itself isn't a problem, lightning will disrupt events and cause cancellations.
• ⚠️ Dry weather and drought are not a concern for fireworks in North Texas this year.
