AIR QUALITY ADVISORY in effect until midnight Thursday. Plumes of smoke from wildfires in Canada will continue to produce hazardous air quality, especially for people with respiratory ailments and heart conditions. Limit time outdoors, and keep windows closed to avoid letting smoke into your home.
Rain is moving in over our neighborhoods this evening, and could be accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times. An isolated storm or two could become severe before midnight in our southern communities, possibly producing some damaging winds.
Otherwise, periods of rain will continue throughout the night, possibly heavy at times. Ponding on roads is likely through the Thursday morning commute, with a small chance for localized flooding in low-lying or poor-drainage areas. Break out the rain gear and stay alert if you will be hitting the roads at any point through tomorrow morning! Lows tonight will dip to the low 60s.

Leftover showers will gradually wind down on Thursday morning, coming to an end by lunchtime. From there, high pressure moving out of Canada will begin to usher in a drier, more comfortable air mass. Clouds will decrease in the afternoon, leaving only some smoky haze behind. Highs will be much more comfortable in the mid 70s, with a dramatic drop in the humidity. This will set up a Fall-like round of lows in the mid 50s on Thursday night.
Friday kicks off one of the more comfortable weekends we've had in recent memory. With high pressure digging in over the region, we'll look for mostly sunny skies, continued low humidity, and highs in the upper 70s. Similar weather continues through Sunday, with highs in the 70 to low 80s and lows in the 50s. Get ready for a great weekend outdoors, and a chance to shut the air conditioning off for a few days!
