BULLETIN
It's a perfect day to celebrate America's 250th birthday across western North Carolina, with partly cloudy skies, comfortable temperatures in the mid-60s, and good air quality making it ideal for Independence Day festivities throughout the region. Lake Lure is drawing crowds for the first time since Hurricane Helene, while Asheville's Independence Day Block Party and parades in Hendersonville are bringing thousands together to mark the milestone anniversary. With only patchy fog expected tonight, locals can enjoy fireworks and outdoor celebrations well into the evening.
