FORECAST SUMMARY:

Wildfire smoke from Canada will continue to impact the region on Thursday with poor air quality remaining for the region. We begin to see improvements as we go into Thursday afternoon and rain chances return to the area. A few pop-up showers will be possible late Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening.

Friday will bring much relief to the area as the Canadian Wildfire smoke moves out of the area and air quality levels return to healthy levels for most of the day. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon to help bring some much-needed rain to the area as well.

A few showers may linger into Saturday morning for a brief period of time, but we dry out and return to a partly cloudy sky with temperatures in the 70s. However, upper-level winds may bring some smoke back into the region (especially central PA) on Saturday. This may lower air quality once again for some areas, BUT not to the extent we have seen the last few days.

Sunday is the pick of the weekend! We'll start off with a partly cloudy sky with increasing clouds in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will reach the upper-70s and low-80s.
