FORECAST:

  • Air quality remains the leading weather concern today as wildfire smoke continues to drift through the region.
  • An air quality alert stays in effect until 8 p.m., and similar dry, hot conditions are expected again tomorrow, keeping smoke levels elevated.
  • A weak cold front arrives Saturday afternoon, bringing a few scattered showers.
  • While rainfall will be light and won’t make a dent in the ongoing rain deficit, the shift in weather should help improve air quality heading into the weekend.
