Clouds will build back in this afternoon with a chance of showers and the risk of a thunderstorm later on as we climb up to a high in the low 20s.

Tonight
That chance of showers and thunderstorm risk will diminish overnight as clouds clear out of the area and we cool down just barely into single digits.
Wednesday
An upper ridge will start building back into the area on Wednesday, bringing us back into beautiful blue skies and sunshine right through the day.
Temperatures will also climb back up into the mid 20s by midday with an afternoon high around 27 degrees or so and a bit of smoke expected to filter back in.
Thursday-Friday
The path of the upper level wind is likely to bring in some thicker smoke from the B.C. fires on Thursday after a sunny start to the day with a few clouds and slight chance of showers later on.
The smoke should get shaken out on Friday as a low pressure system slides through, bringing us back into the clouds with a good chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Daytime highs could climb up into the low 30s on Thursday, depending how much smoke moves in to trap the sun’s energy, so we’ve opted to keep the high just into the upper 20s Thursday and around 27 for Friday.
Weekend Outlook
A slightly cooler Saturday is expected behind Friday’s system, with a daytime high in the mid 20s under clearing skies before we rebound back into the upper 20s with more sunshine Sunday under a rebuilding upper ridge.
