Justin Liles: Wildfire smoke to end the week and getting hot
High pressure will dominate the Northland the rest of the week. This means conditions are going to be rather quiet. Wildfire smoke out of Canada will create hazy conditions the remainder of the of the week too. Most of the smoke will stay in the upper levels of the atmosphere and shouldn’t lead to any health concerns. As far as being able to smell the smoke, there might be a brief window of smelling the smoke.
Temperatures will continue to increase all week as southerly winds take over. By Saturday and Sunday temperatures look to climb well into the 80’s. Dew points are expected to climb into the upper 60s to 70s making for uncomfortable conditions and not the greatest sleeping weather. Currently, heat indices could climb in the 90s. It’s going to be another find ways to stay cool and keep an eye out for one another. Strong storms are possible late Saturday. Sunday evening looks like some stronger thunderstorms are possible and could become severe.
