After enduring extreme late summer heat of late, we thankfully start off this week with closer to average temperatures and a threat of thunderstorms, some being severe into Tuesday evening. Drier and warmer conditions take over Wednesday through Friday, although the upcoming weekend could see a resurgence of moisture and unsettled weather.
Happy Labor Day! This week will feature wildfire smoke building back into the region causing visibilities to deteriorate, especially Monday through Wednesday. With the exception of Tuesday, most of the week will see above average temperatures, even potentially record-breaking ones late in the week. All is dry, though unsettled weather increases over the upcoming weekend into early next week.
