Good morning, Spokane Valley.

On Saturday night, a 4th of July fireworks boat show on Clear Lake near Cheney malfunctioned (sending fireworks outward instead of upward, creating a thick smoke cloud over the dock) and led to one minor injury while emergency responders arrived, with officials noting the display was not permitted.

The National Weather Service issued a Fire Weather Watch for Spokane County today and Wednesday, warning that strong winds, low humidity, and warm temperatures could spark wildfires while residents should prepare go bags & review evacuation routes.

Local government has imposed emergency water restrictions to conserve supplies.

Residents are asked to follow posted guidelines (helping officials assess further measures) as the review continues.

Team USA fans gathered at No-Li Brewhouse to back their team during a match against Belgium and said watching together strengthened their bond—many noted that sharing the game made the loss easier to bear.

Fans also discussed the red card decision on Folarin Balogun, adding local insights.
