Your Saturday weather forecast from Wesla English: "Morning sun to kick off your weekend but it’s likely we will see a mix of sun and cloud by this afternoon as circulation around a low directs a few clouds into the region. Highs will be in the low to mid 20s today. A slight chance of a shower is also in the forecast as we are under the edge of this low. Heat will gradually return starting Sunday."

Wesla and Duane English provided an explanation on why sometimes the smoke from the fires blankets the valley making it hard to see and breathe and then other days like today the smoke vents out of the valley. You can read their explanation by clicking here.
