Air quality looking GOOD through the weekend and into Monday. For Saturday, some peaks of sun expected with north winds shifting south late. Highs in the low 70s. A weak wave of low pressure brings showers late PM and overnight, giving way to sunshine on Sunday, with dry NW winds, and temperatures in the low 70s. More westerly flow on Monday, with high pressure continuing to bringing fair weather, temps again in the low 70s. Will have to keep an eye on some possible light firesmoke late day.
