The big talker at the moment is wildfire smoke that has invaded our valley! Fires that have developed towards Baja California Peninsula along with southerly wild flow is pushing the bulk of the haze directly into Southern Nevada. While the majority of this smoke hasn't vertically integrated into the lower elevations, we have seen some "moderate" air quality markers in the Las Vegas valley with an increase of particulate matter, that may impact those who have respiratory issues. If you are sensitive, you might want to limit outdoor exposure or wear a protective mask.
Smoke is expected to worsen for a few hours tomorrow afternoon, so it will be important to continue to monitor air quality levels. We'll continue to see haze in our skies at least through Wednesday.
Temperatures are gradually warming through the week with a 97 degree forecast high for Tuesday and 100 for Wednesday. We'll continue to climb and possibly hit 110 Sunday.
