In Greene County, one village has already had to reschedule its plans due to inclement weather.

Yellow Springs announced on social media that their events will be tentatively rescheduled for August, due to safety concerns involving thunderstorms.

In Fairborn, the city said it may delay fireworks until the storm passes but has not made any official announcements yet.

But the threat of rain isn’t stopping some from enjoying their holiday.

“I’m not worried about it, a little rain won’t hurt even if it starts. I’m looking forward to it. I think it’ll be a treat day for all activities,” Bethany Grant said.
