Lots of smoke & record heat expected on Thursday

An Air Quality Alert will remain in effect until at least 9 am Thursday, but with more thick smoke and higher than normal ozone levels in the atmosphere, I wouldn't be surprised to see this advisory extended.

Today's hot temps will take some time to cool across the region, eventually cooling down to the 40s, 50s and low 60s.
