4th Of July Weather: Holiday Forecast For Glenview

GLENVIEW, IL — Before your head to a 4th of July parade or fireworks, be sure to pack an umbrella/a little extra sunscreen before you go.

As we approach the holiday, your Independence Day festivities are no doubt confirmed. But, as most of us know, Mother Nature is fickle and could always step in and ruin the best-laid plans with a trifecta of rain, storms and cloudy skies.

So far, Glenview looks as if it could avoid the worst of Mother Nature’s wrath, according to the most recent forecast for our area.
