The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang said hazy skies in the Baltimore-DC region will be the result of smoke Saturday and Sunday, but forecasters don't believe it will create bad air quality as seen the previous week.
Another chance of storms returns later Monday. While the National Weather Service expects a mostly sunny day with a high in the upper 80s, a chance of showers is more likely after 9 p.m. The Capital Weather Gang won't rule out a chance of showers or thunderstorms later in the afternoon or evening, but the forecast will become more clear closer to Monday.
