If youre planning on traveling over the Fourth of July to the East Coast, watch out for Arthur.
The first named tropical storm of the season may make driving hazardous on Wednesday and Thursday but should not spoil most of Fridays festivities, as it veers away from land.
Arthur looks like it will spare the colossal fireworks show on Washingtons National Mall, weather forecasters say, whisking out of range. The storm is expected to morph into a Category 1 hurricane on Thursday, farther south off the coast of North Carolina, with top wind speeds of 75 mph.
