Good morning! Welcome to Monday and July! Mostly sunny today with some chances for storms late in the day. Highs in the 80s. This week we celebrate America but for pups, it's not all fun and games . In fact, more pets go missing around the Fourth of July than any other time of year after being scared by fireworks. Remember to keep your furry family members safe this Fourth as well. And for the folks who like to set off fireworks, please keep our four-legged friends in mind and maybe don't put on a weeklong extravaganza. Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? Thanks. Yours truly, a dog mom. | Forecast
