As Americans ready themselves for fireworks and festivities, they should anticipate some stores and services may not operate on their normal schedules.

The Maine Turnpike Authority says there were 6.7% more people driving in or out of Maine this weekend compared to last Fourth of July.

For those looking to get outside and celebrate, Boston should be in for a warm and sunny Fourth of July, according to National Weather Service forecasts. “It actually looks like a pretty nice day,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Dellicarpini.
