The legendary fireworks show over the Esplanade is expected to go on as scheduled despite the threat of bad weather, officials said.
Steve MacDonald, spokesman for Boston 4th Productions, said any cancellation would be a last minute decision, but forecasters are predicting late afternoon thunderstorms on Wednesday with clearer skies by the time the fireworks show begins about 10:30 p.m.

It's too bad there has been a sellout of this great tradition. The fireworks begin at 10:30pm? Give us a break. This is so choreographed now that it's almost a joke - and with weather concerns as well as the time factor, the nation will get to see a half-empty esplanade at this "event". Shame, shame. Bostonians deserve to have their own fireworks at a family-friendly time. Bring back the 9:00pm starting time - or sundown, whichever comes first.
