SMOKY SKIES: Wildfires are burning across the western part of the United States, and the wind high in the sky is blowing the smoke in our direction. The bulk of this will stay high in the sky above us, but some of it will mix down to the surface, which could impact air quality at times this week.

FORECAST: It will be a little warmer overnight, but should be relatively quiet and less foggy. Skies will stay mostly clear with lows in the upper 60s Tuesday night.

We keep heating up Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s, and heat indices in the mid 90s during the afternoon. We'll see lots of sunshine, but there could be a couple isolated showers and non-severe storms to dodge in the second half of the day.

A weak cold front will move in, but stall out over the region Wednesday night. This could kick off a few very isolated thundershowers Thursday and Friday, but the chances of seeing rain in your neighborhood overall are pretty low. Temperatures will be near 90 on both afternoons, with a breezy south wind developing Friday.

This weekend looks hot. Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny and breezy. Both afternoons with feature a very isolated chance for afternoon thundershowers, with highs in the low 90s.

We look to stay very warm, and a few degrees above average to close out the month of July, with highs in the low 90s on Monday and Tuesday. There is a slight chance for rain early next week, too, which could help cool things off a little quicker.
