Low chance of an isolated pop-up today, but the risk increases tomorrow ahead of a cold front that will produce afternoon showers/storms. Once again, heavy downpours will be the biggest threat. Flooding is possible to areas already saturated from recent rain. #WBZ pic.twitter.com/VEB0IaiLqX

Wedged between two fronts is some thick wildfire smoke that will lead to poor Air Quality from the Midwest to parts of the Northeast. Expect hazy skies in and around New England. #WBZ pic.twitter.com/wNHx3PvQPw

The Canadian wildfire smoke that has been bringing poor air quality to the Midwest recently will be spreading eastward today.

While there are NO air quality alerts locally, you will notice our skies turning hazy this afternoon. The air quality forecast is moderate. #wcvb pic.twitter.com/oggCc99Egp

🥵 Hazy, hot & humid today. Highs near 90 but it will feel like the low 90s. Wildfire smoke could produce a thicker afternoon haze.

⛈️ Next round of storms arrives Tuesday evening. Downpours possible.

🙌 Sunny & dry Wednesday. #wcvb pic.twitter.com/aR9MYJrdw4

No, it's not your imagination.
