While it won’t be as hot as last weekend, it will be dry and sunny all the same on the Eastside this Fourth of July.

“It’s definitely looking to be warmer than last year,” National Weather Service meteorologist Jonny Burg said.

Burg anticipates highs in the mid-80s throughout the weekend, which is about 10 degrees warmer than July 4, 2014.

This still doesn’t beat the 1972 record of 91 degrees for July 4. Data was taken from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Burg cautions against sending too much time in the sun, suggesting people use sunscreen or to avoid it altogether.

Like many fire chiefs in the area, Burg also encourages people to attend planned firework events, to keep fire hazards to a minimum.

“In 2009 we had similarly dry weather before the Fourth and fire agencies had 302 fireworks-related fires,” Dave Nelson, speaking for the King County Fire Chiefs Association, said in a press release. “With this Fourth on a weekend, we expect a similar number of calls. People can reduce the potential of fireworks-related fires by attending a public display.”

Officials are also urging people to only call 911 in an emergency situation.

To report non-emergencies, illegal fireworks, call 425-837-3200 for Issaquah and (425) 836-5674 for Sammamish.
