Clearer Skies Expected as Wildfire Smoke Eases in Southern New England

Southern New England has experienced another day marked by hazy skies due to lingering smoke from Canadian wildfires. Fortunately, upcoming days promise improved air quality as a cold front shifts wind patterns, helping to disperse the smoke and reduce haze. This change will also bring below-average temperatures temporarily. Expect morning lows around 60°F tomorrow, with mostly cloudy skies and afternoon highs reaching the mid to upper 70s, with some areas touching 80°F. While some smoke may persist early in the day, conditions should improve compared to Monday and Tuesday. Thursday is forecasted to be sunnier, offering a pleasant day with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. The trend of sunshine continues into Friday, with slight temperature increases into the low 80s. It will be an excellent end to the workweek, ideal for the Patriots' preseason home game at 7:30 PM. Looking ahead to the weekend, the weather is set to be outstanding. Saturday will feature mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, while Sunday is expected to be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-80s. It's a perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
