• Early Monday fog possible in low valleys due to leftover moisture.

Monday

• Afternoon showers & isolated thunderstorms as temperatures rise.

Tuesday – Wednesday

• A larger low‑pressure system spreads rain across the Northeast.
• Models vary, but 1½–2 inches of rain could fall in some areas.

Air Quality

• High‑altitude smoke from wildfires drifts over the area on Sunday and Monday, but remains high enough that air quality stays fine.
