A little haze was possible across the skies today, but air quality was expected to remain good for the most part. Only a couple of moderate readings were expected, with no widespread air-quality concerns across the Seattle area.

Temperatures were forecast to stay fairly steady through the middle of the week, with highs in the upper 70s today through Wednesday. Highs will dip slightly into the low 80s Thursday before temperatures climb back into the low to mid 80s Friday and Saturday.

Occasional weak westerly winds will help keep air quality mostly good across Western Washington in the coming days. A few moderate readings will be possible at times, but we will not expect a major smoke event across the Seattle area this week.

The story will be much different across central and eastern Washington, where air-quality alerts will remain in place and several large wildfires will continue to produce significant amounts of smoke. Some of the biggest smoke concerns will be across north-central and northeastern Washington, where ongoing fires will be closely monitored.

Red flag warnings were in effect across eastern Washington Friday and Saturday, and multiple new fires popped up Saturday. Fire danger will remain elevated in eastern Washington over the coming days, although no red flag warning will be posted today, meaning fire danger will be a notch lower than it was Friday and Saturday.

At this point, we will not expect a horribly smoky week across western Washington, but that could change if the wind pattern shifts. Unfortunately, there will also be no rain in sight, despite how badly the region could use some moisture.

The Seattle weather outlook will feature mostly dry conditions with temperatures warming into the low to mid 80s by the weekend.
