Very little changes in the forecast for the work week. Plan for highs to remain in the 70s, with our dry weather pattern lasting through Friday. Next weather maker arrives over the weekend, potentially bringing showers and storms to the region.

Mostly sunny skies on tap for mid-week, with highs remaining in the mid to upper 70s during the afternoon. Not so hazy or smokey during the morning hours, but expecting an increase in haze by the afternoon and evening due to the Canadian wildfires. Hazy skies will likely end up sticking around through the end of work week.

Haze mixed with sun Thursday with high temperatures consistent in the upper 70s. Much of the same for Friday, possibly cloud cover increasing with a chance for a drizzle of rain ahead of a frontal system. Highs could approach 80-degrees.

Next chance for the area to see some measurable rainfall will be over the weekend, from early Saturday through Saturday evening. A cold front pushes in scattered rain showers and possible scattered thunderstorms.
