Smoky Skies and Showers Before a Rainy Weekend

A mix of sun and cloud kicks off the day, but widespread smoke and a chance of showers or thunderstorms may dull the afternoon. Skies will clear tonight, though lingering smoke could stick around briefly. Friday offers some sunshine before rain returns overnight and continues into Saturday. The weekend looks mostly wet, with on-and-off showers and cloudy skies expected through Sunday. More unsettled weather lingers into early next week before drier skies return midweek.
