Latest Forecast: Few Gusty Storms This Afternoon & Evening

By Chris SpearsDENVER (CBS4) – Happy Fourth of July!
We’ll be watching the radar this afternoon for a few high-based, gusty thunderstorms that could last into the evening.
What we mean by high-based is that the base of the clouds will be so high up that most of the rain will evaporate before reaching the ground.
Cloud to ground lightning along with gusty winds are the primary threats.
Your evening fireworks shows should go off without a hitch.
