Weather this weekend is shaping up to be hot and breezy, but mostly dry. If you plan on setting off fireworks, please be sure to check local laws and restrictions on private fireworks use; most areas require permits for any pyrotechnics that fly or explode, and for bonfires on the beach. Also, please remember to keep your fuzzy friends safe and stress-free this weekend by keeping them inside.
