Smoke, Chance of Thundershower afternoon

Large wildfires in the central interior are sending clouds of smoke towards us from the NE. The flow should switch around this morning to Southeasterly, then SW. Hopefully clearing out the smoke. This afternoon Thundershowers will likely develop. An upper level trough of low pressure will move towards us later in the week bringing clouds and some showers.

Smoke above Weart and Wedge mountains
