Warm & smoky
-GOOD MONDAY MORNING, EVERYONE...
Despite partly cloudy skies and modest wind shifts, we can expect to stay under smoky conditions with hazardous air quality today. Highs will be in the low to mid 80's and after fairly calm conditions in the morning will see SW breezes pick up to 5-10 mph this afternoon. Skies become partly to mostly cloudy tonight and dense smoke will stay with us. Lows will be in the 40's to low 50's. Breezes become light and variable.
Again, despite mostly clear to partly cloudy skies for the next few days, we will see smoky conditions as long as wildfires continue to burn. Highs will stay in the low to mid 80's through the middle of the week. Cooler air will begin to move in and we will see a slight chance of rain showers as early as Wednesday night. That chance of showers will increase a bit Thursday and stay with us through Friday night. Clearer skies will return for the weekend. Daytime highs will be pretty average Thursday and become cooler Friday through the weekend.
