Happy Friday!
The entire area is under a Code Purple Air Quality alert today due to thick wildfire smoke descending from Canada. Temperatures will rise into the mid-90s today and will slightly decline this weekend, with an increased risk for showers and thunderstorms. Saturday appears to have the greatest chance for a couple rounds of thunderstorms during the day. Some of the thunderstorms could become strong to severe, especially during the afternoon. The cold front sags southward into Sunday, which will dry out conditions and lower humidity. After a dry and seasonal start to the work week, rain and storm chances increase midweek.
Stay safe out there!
