Typical summer pattern continues

Pretty much a cookie cutter forecast for this upcoming week: partly to mostly sunny, humid, and spotty afternoon/evening thunderstorms (30% chance); highs in the upper 80s and low 90s.

As for air quality, the forecast is for “moderate” the next few days but my experience so far has been that the official forecasts from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality tend to be more on the optimistic side. I think it’s safer to assume air quality is a little worse than the official outlook.
