Discussion
A cool front passed through the region last night and has ushered in a comfortable air mass for the latter part of July. Not only has the temperature and humidity dropped to more reasonable levels within this new air mass, the atmosphere has also been “cleansed” of the smoke-caused haze of recent days that was caused by wildfire activity in southern Canada. Decent temperatures will remain for Friday and Saturday and then it’ll turn hotter by early next week with an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms.
