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 around the eastern edge of a high pressure settling in to the Great Lakes region. This is also a cool high, bringing more comfortable temperatures and humidity levels. The first few days of August will be cooler than average, with low humidity and hazy sunshine. Our air conditioners finally get a break! Highs stay in the upper 70s and low 80s through the weekend. Overnight lows the next several mornings will be comfortable in the 50s too. Dry conditions continue through much of the week, so little drought relief is on the way. Highs creep back into the middle and upper 80s by mid week, along with very isolated shower chances. 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.
