Good Sunday bloggers,
We are going to see an interesting first week of August, which is also the title of this blog.
The week has started with some super summer weather. There is a haze as we get into some light-to-moderate smoke from wildfires in Canada and the Pacific Northwest USA. It creates reddish sunrises and sunsets, as it did today. The smoke is aloft and should not pose a hazard to surface air quality.
Here is a smoke forecast map for 5:30 p.m. Sunday. You can see we are in light-to-moderate smoke. There are currently no indications that we will get into thick smoke.
There are indications that we will see thunderstorms before the week is over as we set up into an active zone.
Details on the thunderstorm chances are in the almost 6-minute video below.
Have a great week and stay healthy!
