Happy Friday!
First up, we are still going to deal with smoky skies on Friday morning before rain moves in. Air quality alerts are in effect for our region due to Canadian wildfire smoke in the air. Those with respiratory issues should stay inside again today.
The morning hours should be dry and hazy with temperatures warming quickly again. We'll start in the mid 70s and warm to around 90 again today.
The afternoon will bring scattered showers and storms. This activity will start around noon and continue through sunset. It's not overly organized, but a hit-or-miss activity. There's also a low-end threat for severe weather, a marginal risk, for damaging wind gusts.
The overnight hours will be dry, partly cloudy and humid. We'll cool to 72 degrees.
Another chance for storms will come in for Saturday's forecast. We will be waiting a long time for this to get going.
Saturday morning will be partly cloudy and dry. We'll warm to 87 by the early afternoon with only slight storm chances. The better chance for storms develops after 4 p.m. Storms will start north of our area and move south/southeast through the Tri-State. This activity does bring a risk for severe storms.
The SPC has our area in a "slight risk" for severe storms and that includes damaging wind gusts.
Sunday's forecast turns drier. The sky will be partly cloudy and highs come in at seasonal levels in the mid 80s. You should also notice a drop in humidity, albeit not completely gone but better than the "air you'll wear" on Saturday!
