An air quality advisory is in effect through Thursday for the Cincinnati metro area. This alert comes from the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency because of the Canadian wildfires. There's another wave of smoke that will arrive here through the day on Thursday.
This is happening because we couldn't have a worse weather pattern with winds coming out the north for the last several days. The winds help carry the smoke throughout the Midwest and much of the eastern half of the country. Plus, more of the same will continue through Friday. Our smoke model shows the push of this haze during the afternoon.
Otherwise, we have great days set for Thursday and Friday with mostly sunny skies and mild with highs in the mid to upper 70s. There is an important concern about Friday as it appears a significant amount of smoke will fall into the Tri-State on Friday. This is important if you or yours have concerns about respiratory issues,
I'm nudging up the afternoon highs for Saturday with warmer southerly winds by then. So, we should hit the low 80s. Humidity is still very low all this week.
We are watching Sunday for the return of rain. At the moment, the wet weather should hit on Sunday evening, at the earliest.
