The city of Philadelphia, which of course is central to our independence story, has already decided to substantially cut its annual 4th of July parade route.
Many communities in Colorado, like Durango and Vail, have canceled their fireworks displays due to the risk of wildfires.
And it's not clear yet what's going to happen in Washington, D.C., where President Trump has, of course, been emphasizing this 250th anniversary.
That's right.
Yesterday afternoon, Morning Edition producer Lindsay Toddy headed out to the mall to check out the state fair.
It was 101 degrees and it felt like 114 with the heat index.
And for security reasons, metal and glass water bottles aren't allowed.
So folks can only bring in or buy plastic ones.
And water is priced like at an airport.
It's five bucks for a 20 ounce bottle.
A lemonade is ten dollars.
But there are also hydration stations scattered around where visitors can get free bottles of water and a bit of space to cool down.

Yesterday, the Capitol Police in D.C.
announced they'll be making a call this morning whether or not the public will be allowed to attend the Capitol Fourth event this evening.
Today, the forecast is for 102 degrees, with the heat index expected to make it feel up to 113.

You are really reminded that this city was built on a swamp.
A couple of days ago, President Trump said at a public event that he intended to give a, quote, really long speech on the night of the 4th.
But it's supposed to be nearly as hot then as it will be during the day.
