A nearly-stationary storm is producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent lightning in the area just east of the attractions. The National Weather Service has issued a Significant Weather Advisory for the storm, which juuuuuust barely includes SeaWorld. The remainder of the attractions are sandwiched in between the stronger storms, and maybe, just maybe Magic Kingdom will get in tonight’s July 3rd pre-Independence Day fireworks without a hitch.
