Western Wisconsin's soaking rain ended yesterday evening, and we began to dry out overnight. Sunshine through a few clouds from time to time furthered that drying process today. The sun also contributed to temperatures this afternoon rising slightly above Eau Claire's average high of 76°. Highs were in the 70s today and as warm as the upper 70s for parts of the Chippewa Valley along with areas south and west.

Air quality remains a major problem this evening and will continue to be an issue overnight before things slowly begin to improve tomorrow. The air quality dropped into the red to near pink/purple level midday behind the cold front and you could really smell and even see some of that smoke along with the rain. We remain in the red category this evening.

Air quality remains a concern. While much of the weekend saw wildfire smoke higher in the atmosphere, it will again sink down towards the surface to affect air quality tonight. An Air Quality Alert is in effect from midnight to noon tomorrow as that smoke pollution sinks towards the surface. The WI DNR issues these alerts and forecasts that the air quality will drop to the orange red categories, with brief spikes in the pink category possible near the MN border before the rain arrives.

From 18 Storm Track Chief Meteorologist Matt Schaefer:Atmospheric smoke is not factored into the weather data I get to analyze, so it's up to me to determine how much of a factor it will be for temperatures. Although my forecast for Friday afternoon called for the low 80s for the past few days, highs only managed the upper 70s. I've adjusted the high temperature forecasts to a similar degree for the next few days as atmospheric smoke should have similar concentrations.
