Where America Sees Rain on the Fourth of July
Crunching the historic numbers shows Florida and New England like it moist.
What are the odds of seeing your sparkler fizzle in a lousy downpour this July Fourth?
Well, if you live in California or much of the West, it’s as low as zero to 10 percent. Florida and the Gulf Coast, as well as spots in Appalachia and New England, have a more liquidy likelihood of 30 to 40 percent. And the southwestern sides of Maui and the Big Island are practically doomed to a dousing, with chances ranging from 50 percent upward.
