Notably, there are also fire weather concerns for parts of Hawaii, specifically the leeward portions of all Hawaiian Islands and interior sections of the Big Island as dry weather, as well as wind gusts between 35 and 50 mph, will persist through the weekend with conditions improving by late Sunday for the Hawaiian Islands.

Smoke from wildfires blazing across Canada is once again wafting over huge portions of the Midwest and worsening air quality, with conditions particularly bad on August 1 in Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.

Tonight will be a bit hazy, but clear and cool with lows in the 50s. Wildfire smoke looks to turn even thicker on Sunday. Poor air quality is likely, along with obscured visibility. Use caution if doing strenuous activities, especially hiking.
