Programming will continue through NBC4 at Midday and Noon and NBC4 at 4, 5, 6 and 7. At 8 p.m., we'll begin our special three-hour coverage of Red, White & BOOM! The fireworks show is scheduled for 10 p.m.
If you're heading to the show, here are things to know:
If you can't make it Downtown, the show is visible for miles around Columbus.
Storm Team 4 is tracking rain and storms that may cross central Ohio on Wednesday as a cold front arrives late in the afternoon. Should storms hit, NBC4 will let you know whether the time for fireworks is changed. And officials advise people heading Downtown to be prepared.
"The thing I always tell people is when you park, remember where you park," said Shawn Verhoff, co-executive director of Red, White and BOOM! "Because in a decent rainstorm, you may want to go back to your car for a little while, just like if you’re at Ohio State at a football game."
NBC4 will send push alert notifications about severe weather and fireworks changes. Download our apps at this link.
NBC4i.com's livestream will continue through the fireworks show and NBC4 at 11.
