The next 7 days

Highlights
Friday will be the coolest day since last Saturday with morning clouds and highs only around 79.
For the most part the smoke will be cleared out of here for the weekend, but the break from it will be short-lived. By Sunday evening the smoke returns and will keep our highs from going much above 90 next week.
The other little challenge to the forecast is the possibility for thunderstorms Monday. Thunderstorms are so tough to forecast here. The chance is small like usual, but if I don’t mention it at all and then it pours “unexpectedly” I feel like I’ve dropped the ball. On the other hand when I put storms in the forecast like this it makes the day look rainier than it will likely be.
Bottom line: The vast majority of Monday will be dry even if we do see a storm roll through. Rest assured that yours truly will keep a close eye on it.
All the other days look warm & dry for the foreseeable future.
