That's the good news.
But almost on cue, just as clouds dissipate, hazy skies have arrived on Thursday, June 29 as smoke from Canadian wildfires enters the area.
How much sunshine there is will depend on the amount of haze from the smoke as widespread poor air quality is expected.
In the first image above, areas in red are projected to have very unhealthy air quality, orange unhealthy, and yellow moderate.
Air quality conditions are also expected to be poor on Friday, June 30, which will be mainly clear with a high temperature in the low 80s, according to the National Weather Service.

The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale.
The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern.
