Skies were hazier on Tuesday from wildfire smoke once again drifting in from the north. This will continue into the night, and may cause some air quality concerns as it possibly mixes down closer to the ground. Other than the smoke, skies will be clear overnight.
Tomorrow's Forecast
On Wednesday, smoky skies continue within high clouds moving overhead. The heat is building again as temperatures rise into the middle-and upper 80s. Some will reach low 90s.
