The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: A statewide AIR QUALITY ADVISORY is in effect through Saturday due to Canadian wildfire smoke. The smoke is coming in as a high pressure from Canada slides in from the north and settles in to the Great Lakes region. This is also a cool high, bringing more comfortable temperatures into the area. Continuing the next several days, our air conditioners can finally get a break! Much cooler, drier, and less humid humid air is settling in. Highs the next few days will only be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Overnight lows the next several mornings will be comfortable in the 50s. In fact, a beautiful stretch of weather is in store with sunshine and dry conditions through through Monday. Enjoy! We may be able to start seeing the Perseid Meteors in the coming days, but they don't peak until August 12/13. This is an annual event and stems from debris from the tail of the comet Swift Tuttle. Stay tuned to the FOX 17 Weather Ready Team for your latest forecast updates.
