Warmer weather and wildfire haze return to the valley


The first day of meteorological summer was Sunday, but it didn't quite feel like summer outside. Temperatures will be much closer to average on Monday, helped along by a good deal of sunshine. Highs will reach the mid-70s in most spots, a nice improvement on the past couple of days.
Canadian wildfire smoke high in the atmosphere could lead to the skies looking a bit hazy Monday afternoon, but smoke looks to have more of an impact on Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon will see temperatures return to the 80s for the first time since mid-May with some more sunshine.
Wednesday could be our warmest day of 2025, with high temperatures in the mid-80s. Skies will remain mostly sunny during the day before clouds start to move back in Wednesday evening. A shower cannot be ruled out overnight as our next storm system slowly approaches from the west.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible on both Thursday and Friday with a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures will remain above average in the upper 70s to low 80s. A shower or two could linger into Saturday morning, with clouds decreasing later in the day.
