Baltimore's Fourth of July events were pushed back Thursday evening as inclement weather forced schedule changes across the city. The Inner Harbor fireworks and drone show were both set for a later start.
The timing matters because people had already gathered around Baltimore City with plans built around the holiday schedule. The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for multiple areas, including Baltimore City, until 10:00 p.m., leaving organizers to work around weather that could change quickly and force delays.
The watch was broad enough to affect more than one celebration, and the source said the impacted events were not limited to the fireworks display alone. That matters for anyone trying to follow Baltimore weather updates on a holiday night, because a later start can quickly become a moving target when storms are in the area.
One detail was still missing: the revised start time. The events had been delayed, but no new hour was given for when the Inner Harbor fireworks and drone show would actually begin, leaving the final holiday schedule unsettled for now.
