Yet another round of smoke and haze from ongoing wildfires burning in Canada’s Manitoba and Saskatchewan provinces will drift into the Tri-State region on Monday. Not only will it turn the skies from clear to milky and hazy, it also will lead to poor air quality, especially for sensitive groups.

Weatherwise, Monday is shaping up to be a warm day, with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s, Despite the haze, lots of sunshine will be in place, albeit filtered. 

Looking ahead to the upcoming week, the low humidity that we all enjoyed over the weekend will slowly creep up during the week. However, it is not expected to reach the extremely oppressive levels observed last week. Temperatures won’t deviate too far from normal, generally topping out in the low to mid 80s. 

As for precipitation, other than a spotty shower chance on Tuesday and Thursday, it looks to be an overall very dry week.
