Hi, everybody. I'm back in your inbox this warm summer morning with everything you need to know about what's happening in Boise. Follow along for the latest...

Welcome to the Sunday edition of the Boise Daily. Wherever you are heading for July 4, we have the complete schedule of events. If your plans involve tubing the river, bring your own air. More students attending West Ada Schools may see law enforcement in the halls and more information has been released on an Emmett drowning. Finally, the discussion over safety on Highway 55 is heating up.

Partly sunny and not as hot. High: 86 Low: 59.
