ALERTS: AIR QUALITY ALERT until might.

More smoke from the Canadian wildfires continues to drift through our area and we are seeing some of the worst air quality for the night. The smoke is forecast to gradually improve during the day on Friday, but then come back for early Saturday.

More improvement comes after the rain and storms on Saturday.

Friday: Less smoke, nicer today

Friday will start smoky, but the afternoon looks a little better. Temperatures are in the mid-80s with a mix of sun and clouds and low humidity.

Saturday Soaker

The smoke will come back northward for early Saturday, then rain is on the way. Thunderstorms are expected on and off from the afternoon into the evening. Some minor with flash or street flooding possible. Temperatures are in the 70s and 80s.

Sunday Sunshine

This is the pick of the weekend. Highs are in the low to mid 80s with low humidity and more sunshine.
