AND JUST HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO LAST. YOU THINK OF EVERYONE IN CANADA TO WILDFIRES ARE AWFUL TO DEAL WITH, SO DOUBLE EDGED SWORD THERE BETWEEN AIR QUALITY AND THAT AND IT’S JUST NOT GREAT. WEATHER PLAYS A BIG ROLE JON IT BIG TIME. ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT’S WHAT WE EXPECT THIS TIME OF YEAR. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THESE TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE FOR THIS MORNING AS WELL. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE SMOKE. THAT IS A HEADLINE. AS WE START THINGS OFF. CURRENT AIR QUALITY. WE JUST LOOK AT THIS I WANT TO BRING IT UP AGAIN. UNHEALTHY FOR SOME IS STRETCHING INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN IOWA AS WELL. THAT SHADE OF RED NORTH AND NORTHEASTERN IOWA. LET’S TRACK THIS OUT. PUTTING THE TRACKER IN PLAY. NOW YOU’RE SEEING THE WORST OF IT TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. THAT IS EXPECTED TO HIT INTO SOUTHEASTERN IOWA AS WELL. NOT EXPECTED TO TOUCH AS FAR INTO CENTRAL IOWA AS THE METRO AS THIS IS JUMPING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. BUT WE ARE STILL GOING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE IMPACTS. STILL COULD GET A LITTLE BIT WORSE HERE IN DES MOINES AND POLK COUNTY. BUT AS WE GET FARTHER INTO THE REST OF TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, IT DOES START TO KIND OF REALLY MELLOW OUT A LITTLE BIT. YOU’RE NOT SEEING AS VIBRANT COLORS STILL GOING TO BE SOME SURFACE SMOKE TO DEAL WITH THAT CAN EVEN BLEED INTO PARTS OF THURSDAY. THIS IS 6 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS WHENEVER THAT AIR QUALITY ALERT IS SET TO EXPIRE. BUT WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT SOME OF THAT LINGERING SMOKE, STILL MIGHT BE ABLE TO SMELL IT. HOWEVER, IT’S NOT GOING TO BE AS MUCH AS FAR AS THE RAINFALL THAT WE’VE SEEN THIS WEEK SO FAR. SEEING AROUND 3/10 TO 4/10 OF AN INCH AND AMES ANKENY DES MOINES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY FARTHER WESTERN PORTION OF THE METRO, SEEING CLOSER TO AROUND AN INCH. I’M TALKING ABOUT CLIVE AREA GOING INTO WAUKEE AS WELL. GOING TO BE HIGHER THAN WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, BUT AS WE ZOOM THINGS OUT, DEFINITELY THE HIGHER TOTALS FARTHER NORTH AND NORTHWEST ALGONA AROUND AN INCH AND A HALF, EVEN SEEING AROUND AN INCH AND A HALF EVEN CLOSE AROUND TWO INCHES IN PARTS OF FORT DODGE, THEN SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST, SEEING AROUND AN INCH AND A QUARTER TOWARDS CENTERVILLE. THE COLD FRONT IS NOW OFF TO THE EAST. SO IS THE RAIN. THE CLOUD COVER AS WELL. WE’RE JUST GOING TO BE DEALING WITH MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS, SOME RESIDUAL CLOUDS TRYING TO HOLD ON, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT LAST THROUGH TOO MUCH OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET INTO THIS AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING TO BE CLEAR. STILL, SOME OF THAT HAZY, SMOKY SKIES, BUT WE’RE GOING TO BE CLOUD FREE AT LEAST GOING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. NO RAIN CHANCE JUMPING INTO THURSDAY, INCREASING CLOUDS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING, SETTING UP FOR SOME RAIN CHANCES, MAINLY LATE AFTERNOON GOING INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. AND WE COULD SEE THOSE RETURN AS WE GET INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS WELL. MID TO UPPER 70S FOR OUR HIGHS TODAY. SO NOT GOING TO BE A WARM ONE. NOT LIKE WE HAD THIS WEEKEND OR ON MONDAY, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE FAIRLY NICE OUTSIDE. IT’S GOING TO BE COMFORTABLE 70 MID 50S AGAIN FOR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, SO EXPECT A SIMILAR START TO OUR MORNING ON THURSDAY. EXCEPT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE AS SMOKY. THAT’S FORECASTED TO DROP SOME ISOLATED RAIN CHANCES THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SAME STORY FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, BUT DON’T CANCEL YOUR PLANS. WE’RE GOING TO SEE IF THEY DO POP UP. IT’S GOING TO BE MAINLY LIGHT, ISOLATED AND BRIEF. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, MOSTLY DRY. SOME RAIN CHANCE
