Discussion              

Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to fill the skies in the Mid-Atlantic leading to deep red/orange sunsets/sunrises in the region as well as some “milky” sunshine. Temperatures remain quite comfortable for the early part of June influenced by a closed-low spinning around over the northeastern states. A weak frontal system could spark isolated showers later today and a couple of weak troughs can produce isolated showers later in the week, but it’ll certainly be a struggle to get anything of significance through the week. Looking ahead, there is some hope for a more appreciable type of rainfall early next week in the Mid-Atlantic region.
