Smoky Skies and Scattered Rain Chances Tuesday

Soot and Smoke to Keep Skies Hazy

Lingering smoke from wildfires in western Canada is expected to keep skies hazy across Minnesota and western Wisconsin Tuesday.

The smoke is aloft and won't affect local air quality.

The sun may have an orange or red tint due to the smoke.

Scattered Storms Tuesday Afternoon and Evening

A few scattered storms are possible over far eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin Tuesday afternoon and evening.

The storms will be hit or miss.

Storms that do develop could produce heavy rain and small hail.

Dry and Comfortable Weekend

The unsettled pattern will end this weekend.

Mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s are expected Saturday and Sunday.

It will be a great weekend to get outdoors and do some yard work or attend an outdoor event.
