Northwest Georgia will experience dry conditions and hazy skies today and Tuesday as wildfire smoke aloft from Canada continues to impact the region. While temperatures will remain near-normal for early June, residents can expect a veil of smoke to linger in the upper atmosphere. According to local weather reports, sunny days and clear nights with scattered fair-weather cumulus clouds are expected. Low temperatures will range from the upper 50s to low-60s this morning and tomorrow morning, while high temperatures will reach the mid-80s, consistent with typical early June weather. Integrated Smoke models indicate that wildfire smoke from Canada will remain suspended in the upper levels of the atmosphere over Northwest Georgia for the next 48 hours. While the smoke may become more dispersed, it is likely to stay entrained in the upper-level flow. Relief from the hazy conditions may arrive mid-week, with isolated rain chances returning as early as Wednesday and Thursday. By the weekend, more widespread diurnally-enhanced showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop, potentially clearing the air.
