Lake Lure is at full capacity for the first time since Hurricane Helene, drawing Fourth of July crowds ready to celebrate the holiday at the popular destination. While you'll want to grab an umbrella as heavy drizzle is expected to bring today's high to around 90°F, the air quality remains good for outdoor festivities. A couple of local notes: Black Mountain police arrested a man who allegedly brandished a firearm in a restaurant, and the Black Mountain Center for the Arts has named a new executive director to lead the organization.
