Hazy Smokey Skies Start Workweek Before Mostly Clear Skies and Warm Afternoons Takeover

The low pressure system over eastern Utah is slowly moving to the east and continues to spin unstable air into eastern Oregon, circulating the chance for isolated thunderstorms with little to no rainfall over eastern Oregon. As the weekend progresses, haze from local fires will give way to clear skies and warm weather with a slight decrease in high temperatures over the week.
