A front will be moving north through the area on Friday and back south on Saturday. This will mean a chance for storms both times. For Friday, storms near the front should mainly be affecting areas to the north of Springfield. This hopefully will provide a break for the "I Love America" show Friday evening.

Fireworks on the fourth might be a bit trickier. A front will be moving southward on this day and by the time evening rolls around, the main threat for rain and storms should exist from Springfield southward into northern Arkansas.
