Thousands are gathering across Western North Carolina today for Fourth of July celebrations, with Asheville hosting a major Independence Day Block Party and several nearby communities marking America's 250th birthday with parades and festivities. The weather is cooperating mostly, with clear skies this morning though some light drizzle is expected later as temperatures climb to around 86°F, and air quality is good for outdoor celebrations. If you're heading out to any of the local events, it's a great day to be outside in the region.
