While warm conditions will start the week around the Tri-State, much cooler air funnels into the area providing seasonal or even below average temperatures for us. Skies will remain mostly clear and we'll wake up to sunshine with morning lows in the mid to upper 50s, so slightly cooler. Later in the day, afternoon highs will reach the low to mid 80s just above average.

The conditions begin to change on Tuesday with a cold front will eventually push by the Tri-State to the south and allow much more mild air into the Tri-State, so highs will only reach the upper 70s on Wednesday through Friday. We could also see a couple of showers with certainly some extra cloudiness.

Additionally, our weather pattern right now is allowing a fair amount of smoke to drift down from the Canadian fires in Ontario all the way over to Nova Scotia. The greyish skies around here are caused by the smoke from these fires and our smoke model shows areas in the Midwest are seeing more than just a little smoke.
