Discussion
The day begins with filtered-sunshine again as skies remain smoke-filled from wildfire activity across Canada and the NW US. A cool front will approach the region later in the day and bring with it an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms - some of the storms can be on the strong side. A comfortable air mass for late July will follow the passage of the frontal system resulting in a nice day on Thursday and it'll stay pretty comfortably warm around here on Friday and Saturday as well.
