It's a beautiful day for Independence Day celebrations across Western North Carolina, with clear skies this morning and a high of 88°F expected—perfect weather for the county-wide 250th birthday festivities and the popular Fourth of July events happening in Asheville and around Lake Lure today. Air quality is good, so it should be a great day to get outside and join the crowds, though it'll be a bit warm by afternoon.
