The good news? Rain is coming.
The bad news? Your holiday plans may need a rain-check.
Temperatures will ramp up until Thursday when they'll take a small dip as rain moves into the region. Despite that small dip, humidity levels won't change much, the National Weather Service said Tuesday.
Temperatures will reach about 98 degrees Wednesday before rain chances move in for the rest of the week. While none of the rain is expected to be severe, a few storms could become strong with damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall, the weather service said.
"Cloud cover and shower coverage could help lower temperatures this week, but humidity levels will keep conditions feeling stifling," the weather service said.
Chances of rain start at 60% Independence Day and taper off to 40% just in time for fireworks.
Heat indexes will remain in the triple digits until Saturday, according to the weather service.
