AIR QUALITY CONCERNS
It was an unusual looking day as smoke from Canadian wildfires lingered over New England, giving the sky a yellowish, hazy appearance. Many areas also noticed the smell of smoke and air quality was reduced at times.
We will see some slight improvements tonight with comfortable temperatures and lower humidity, even the smoke and haze will thin out a little bit.
The smoke and haze are back Thursday though. Air quality may once again be a concern for sensitive groups, so it’s a good idea to limit your time outdoors. Temperatures will stay in the 80s with slightly lower humidity.
LATE WEEK IMPROVEMENTS
The pattern begins to improve on Friday as the wildfire smoke shifts away from New England. Sunshine returns with highs in the mid 80s and lower humidity.
If you have weekend plans, Saturday starts dry with rain arriving later in the day. Periods of rain are expected into early Sunday before the system moves offshore. While the weekend won’t be a washout, keep the rain gear with you and keep checking back in with us for updates.
