Less Haze and More Sunshine

Any remaining areas of smoke will be mostly to the northeast and slowly dissipate throughout the day, opening the door to a blue sky weekend.

90 degree high temperatures continue this afternoon with mostly sunny skies and a southwest wind at 5 to 10 mph.

The amount of sunshine and wind speeds will stay the same tomorrow but will be out of the north, allowing for cooler afternoon temperatures in the 80s.

The sunshine, 80 degree temperatures, plus that south wind will be back Sunday with scattered thundershowers expected overnight followed by a cool down for the rest of the work week.
