Temperatures will be in the 70s, with a light north wind, according to the National Weather Service.

"The northerly winds will bring some smoke from the Canadian wildfires back into the region today," the weather service noted. "The smoke is expected to remain above the surface, resulting in some hazy conditions, especially later this morning or afternoon."
