SUMMARY: Canadian wildfire smoke continues to cause hazy skies across Alabama, especially in northern areas like North Alabama and the Tennessee Valley. While air quality remains safe with no alerts locally, regions further north near the Dakotas and Minneapolis face hazardous conditions. The haze will persist today with mostly dry weather and highs in the low to mid-80s. By midweek, increasing Gulf moisture will raise humidity and temperatures toward the upper 80s and possibly near 90 degrees, particularly in West Alabama. A stormier pattern with more showers is expected to return toward the weekend.

Canadian wildfire smoke continues to make Alabama’s forecast hazy. The first week of June looks hot and humid.
