.DISCUSSION...

Light east-northeasterly winds will result in poor smoke
dispersion this morning. However, once winds increase to 10 to 15
mph this afternoon, should see smoke dispersion quickly improve.
High res models continue to indicate that Canadian wildfire smoke
will linger aloft through the evening, with impacts at the surface
expected to remain minimal. Afternoon temperatures will climb
into the lower 70s with dew points in the 40s, resulting in
afternoon RH values near 35 percent.

Otherwise, expect chances for showers and storms to return late
tonight through Wednesday as a frontal boundary slowly moves
across the area. Southerly winds of 10-15 mph on Wednesday
morning will transition to northwesterly by afternoon with the
passage of the boundary.
