Others, like Atlantic City and Ocean City, have already pulled the trigger and postponed fireworks displays.

“The storm surge on the water will make it difficult to set up the barges on the ocean or bay,” said Elaine Zamansky, a spokeswoman for the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority.

One of the nation’s most famous 4th of July fireworks displays, the Boston Pops July 4th concert, was already moved up to Thursday. Philadelphia also decided to celebrate on the 3rd of July instead.

The premiere 4th of July fireworks being shown online — the Macy’s display in New York City — has been altered as well. Officials moved the display from the Hudson River to the East River. The display will run from noon until 10:30 pm.
