Storm Team4 Forecast: Smokey air clears up a bit on mostly dry Sunday

4 things to know about the weather:

Drier air moving into the DMV throughout the day
A few very isolated showers could impact southern Maryland and the Northern Neck of VA (all south of D.C.)
Wildfire smoke returns to the upper levels of the atmosphere
Next rain chance? Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday

The rain on Saturday helped clear out some of the smoke from the Canadian wildfires so we’re waking up to code yellow in many places across the D.C. area, which is typical for this time of year.

Drier air is coming into the area from Canadian high pressure. While it’ll be cloudy in some places, it’ll be a nice day with lower humidity and less hazy skies.

The remaining smoke could make the sun look a little orange later. Those south of D.C. could see see some showers through the afternoon and evening.

Weather Alert: Brace for unhealthy air, heat index over 100° and strong storms

4 things to know about the weather:

Weather Alert for wildfire smoke, heat advisory and PM storms
Air quality will improve this afternoon
Expect feels-like temperatures over 100°
Scattered, strong storms between 3-7 p.m.

Poor air quality, high heat and a chance for strong storms may affect your Saturday plans.

Air quality started code red, which is unhealthy, in much of the region. Code red means everyone should limit time outdoors, especially if doing strenuous activities, experts say. Expect air quality to shift from one neighborhood to the next and throughout the day.

Overall, a code orange air quality alert is in effect, which means conditions are unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Southwest winds will increase, and the change in wind direction will improve the air quality but bring high humidity along with it. A heat advisory has been issued.

Highs will get back into the low 90s with a heat index topping 100° before storms finally arrive.

Locally strong to severe storms will be capable of producing very heavy rain and the risk of urban and flash flooding. Rain chances will remain low for the morning hours, but all bets are off after 2-3 p.m. and storms will be widespread from 4- 5 p.m. onward.

Storms will linger into late Saturday night before tapering off around sunrise Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon and Monday will turn out to be quite nice, followed by a humid and stormy Tuesday.
