Spotty showers, storms to move across North Texas, bringing slightly cooler temperatures
It was an active Fourth of July, and the unsettled weather pattern is expected for the rest of the holiday weekend across Dallas-Fort Worth. The good news is that the cloud cover has and will keep temperatures cooler than average. Also, there was a measurable amount of rainfall in one of the driest months of the year. The showers and storms led to an accumulation of 0.25" to an inch of rainfall in the past 24 hours. Unfortunately, it rained on a lot of parades, and this holiday weekend, there is a potential for more rain, which will put a damper on any outdoor festivities. Saturday, the heaviest rain will be expected across DFW and to the southwest into Central Texas, where dozens have been killed in floodwaters. Storm probabilities remain in the forecast Sunday through mid-week. A ridge of high pressure will gradually build across the Desert Southwest and move east towards the Plains by the end of next week. This will influence our weather pattern by bringing drier and warmer conditions. It will feel like summer once again next weekend!

Shop The Best Hoka 4th Of July Sales While You Still Can—And Save Up To 31%
Though the holiday weekend is coming to a close, Hoka's 4th of July sale is still live across major retailers like REI, Nordstrom Rack and Hoka's own website. Some of the best deals we've seen going strong include 31% off the Hoka Arahi 7 and 20% off the Hoka Clifton 9. If you're interested, we recommend acting fast: We've seen stock selling out quickly in common sizes and colors. During Hoka's 4th of July sale, you can save up to 31% on popular styles like the Clifton 9. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER Hoka shoes have earned the top spot in many of our footwear guides, including the best walking shoes for men, the best walking shoes for women and the best travel shoes for women. The brand's running shoes in particular are lightweight yet supportive, and feature maximum cushioning for soft landings—even when you're walking or jogging on uneven terrain. Ahead, we've rounded up the 12 best Hoka 4th of July sales that you can shop now. We'll be updating this guide with the most accurate prices and still-live deals throughout the holiday weekend, so be sure to check back in to see the most current slate of offers. This popular trail running sneaker was recently updated with breathable, single-layer mesh and lightweight foam for a more comfortable experience. A rubber cap toe protects against dirt and debris, while the low-profile cushion keeps your feet close to the ground. If you need a new everyday sneaker, consider the Hoka Arahi 7. It features a streamlined appearance with a plush tongue and a stretchy gusset beneath the lace line, which prevents the tongue from slipping around when you move. Right now, you can save $45 on this style. These light trail running shoes are a popular choice because of their soft foam midsoles, which provide extra support over bumpy terrain; there are also tightly-spaced rubber grooves along the bottom, offering superior traction. Another helpful feature is the extended heel pull, which makes it easy to get this shoe off. During REI's 4th of July sale, it's currently 20% off. The Hoka Clifton 9 is a versatile walking and running shoe that provides all-day comfort and maximum cushion. It features Hoka's famous MetaRocker, which is essentially a curved midsole that promotes a smooth gait and helps propel the foot forward. Grab a pair now while it's still discounted and save nearly $30. Note: This style is nearly sold out in all sizes except for 6.5, 7, 9.5 and 10 so if you're interested, act fact. If you're searching for an extra-light running shoe, you can't go wrong with the Hoka Mach 6. It's outfitted with a responsive foam midsole, and the insole can be removed if you want to use custom orthotics. During Nordstrom Rack's 4th of July sale, you can score it for $30 less. Hoka is known for making hiking shoes that feel lighter and more comfortable than traditional boots, and the women's Anacapa 2 Freedom are among its easiest to wear. Just slip them on (no laces needed), and the cushioned midsoles and Vibram Megagrip outsoles keep you steady on any terrain. During REI's 4th Of July sale, they're nearly 20% off. Note: This style is nearly sold out. Available sizes include 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8 and 9.5—if you're interested, it's best to move fast. The Clifton L features supportive cushioning and a lightweight construction that won't weigh you down. Its EVA footbed and neutral last (taken from the popular Clifton 3) offers an effortless walking or jogging experience. This pair is currently 20% off at Nordstrom Rack during the 4th of July. Tackle the trails in confidence with the Speedboat 6, designed for a smooth ride across varied terrain. It has a protective toe bumper and durable rubber sole to keep you steady on your feet, while the breathable mesh upper ensures optimal airflow. Plus, the Vibram MegaGrip gives you solid traction on both wet and dry surfaces.

During 4th of July sales, you can find discounts and promotions across multiple shopping categories including furniture, mattresses, beauty, clothing and additional summer essentials. That said, we suggest prioritizing any big-ticket items you've been eyeing like mattresses, TVs, furniture and appliances, since you can save hundreds by purchasing them now. When Do 4th Of July Sales Typically End? Fourth of July sales typically end one to two days after Independence Day—July 5 or July 6. The end dates for these sales will vary depending on the retailer, so if there is one you're interested in shopping, be sure to check their site for more information about when it concludes so you don't miss out on these steep savings. Are 4th Of July Sales Better Than Black Friday? While both sales events offer some of the best deals of the year, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. Fourth of July sales are great because you can find discounted summer necessities, appliances and more. Black Friday sales tend to feature a broader range of discounted products, with more brands participating in the fall sales event.

A tropical storm could develop near the Southeast, fueling threats of heavy rain
There's a growing chance that an area meteorologists are monitoring in the tropics could develop into a storm around the southeastern United States. If the system comes to fruition, heavy rain, gusty winds and rip currents could hit Florida, coastal Georgia and the Carolinas into the holiday weekend. The National Hurricane Center is estimating a 40 percent or 'medium' chance of development. Recent model indications suggests a greater likelihood of something forming east of Florida over the Gulf Stream, rather than within the Gulf proper.
