LANSING, Mich. — Winds out of the southwest today will allow for warmer temperatures in the upper 70's today. The transfer of moisture is still fairly low with dew points in the mid to upper 30's this afternoon. We won't be feeling too muggy today. However, the presence of Canadian wildfire smoke could hinder our temperatures from additional warming from the abundance of sunshine today.

As we continue into the week, however, strong southwesterly winds will warm our temperatures into the 80's with moisture returning to our neighborhoods. We can expect muggy conditions on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies.
