Your Fourth of July plans should include an umbrella, according to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, which said showers and thunderstorms are possible for much of the state on the holiday.

“The best chances for thunderstorms will be across portions of north Georgia during the afternoon and evening,” the weather service said. “A few of these storms could be strong to severe. Remember, when thunder roars...go indoors!”

Storms also are in the forecast for Friday and Sunday, too, so remember to be prepared for inclement weather while you’re outdoors picnicking, swimming and watching fireworks this weekend.
