This Morning: Air quality is looking better than it was 24 hours ago and we begin the day with calm conditions and temps in the 50s under a partly cloudy sky. Today: Clouds increase through the afternoon but not before a bit of sunshine to start the day. It is a seasonal day with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. A light east wind at 5 to 10 mph may keep some light haze from the wildfire smoke around the area and air quality could be unhealthy for sensitive groups.

An Air Quality Alert is in effect through 6 AM Thursday across the state due to concentrations of ground level wildfire smoke. The smoke may pose a health risk to sensitive groups, including the young, elderly, people with certain heart and lung diseases, and outdoor workers. Limit your time outside and avoid intense activities. Visibility may be slightly reduced and you may smell smoke. This Morning: The cold front has moved through and any lingering rain in the southeast moves out before sunrise.

This Morning: We have already seen some scattered storms, mainly in our northwestern counties, but the main wall of rain is still west of I-35 and arrives later this morning. Otherwise, skies are cloudy and it is very warm with temps still in the 70s or upper 60s. Today: Soaking rain and storms are expected through today as a cold front comes through. The main bulk arrives in our western counties around 7 AM with widespread rain by late this morning.

This Morning: It is a clear start to Monday with temps ranging from near 50 to near 60. Winds are light from the southeast and air quality is moderate due to wildfire smoke still over the area. Today: Skies are mostly sunny again today and winds pick up from the south at 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph, to make it a windy one. This brings highs up into the mid 80s to near 90, which is actually held back a bit because of the thick haze we have to endure again today.

Canadian wildfire smoke is already pouring in from the north wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere. This provides us with a lot of haze for today and for the entirety of the weekend. Most of the smoke is in the upper levels, giving us vibrant sunrises/sunsets and a milky white or gray sky during the day, but some surface smoke is possible which would lower visibility, and air quality a bit, while also giving the air a smoky smell.
