Milky sky caused by Canadian wildfires, big warm-up coming
High pressure will build in from the northwest, providing sunshine and a cool northerly flow that will hold temperatures to the 60s. The milky haze visible the past few days is the result of smoke from the Canadian wildfires filtering southeast and diffusing the sun's rays.
Tonight will bring mostly clear skies, which may allow for a view of the northern lights created by a major (G4) geomagnetic storm early on June 1, but only if the smoke clears this evening. Morning readings will dip to the chilly mid-40s.
A warm front will lift north across the state on Monday, as winds turn southerly, bringing summer-like conditions. A stray shower is possible later in the day over the western half of the state.
Temperatures will rise into the mid- to upper 80s midweek, before a cold front pushes in from the west with showers and a few storms Thursday and Friday.
Sunday: Hazy sunshine. High 69
Tonight: Mostly clear. Low 47
Monday: Mostly sunny, warmer. High 79
Tuesday: Sunny. High 85 (55)
Wednesday: Partly cloudy. High 88 (66)
Thursday: Scattered showers, storms. High 84 (69)
Friday: Cloudy, showers. High 78 (67)
Saturday: Partly sunny, stray shower. High 79 (62)

Cooler weather and light rain helping some provinces in battle against wildfires
PRINCE ALBERT — The Saskatchewan government is boosting support it's giving to wildfire evacuees, while officials say light rain and cooler temperatures this weekend could help keep some of the province's larger fires in check. Bryan Chartrand with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency told a news conference in Prince Albert, Sask., on Saturday that it's been mostly "status quo" with the large fires in the past 24 hours. In addition to more favourable weather, Chartrand says there haven't been any new lightning-caused fires, and he says fires have also reached natural barriers such as lakes which have stopped their growth. The province announced Saturday a hike in financial assistance for those registered with the SPSA, raising the amount provided to the head of household to $40 per day, up from $20, and additional household members will get $20 per day, up from $10. Marlo Pritchard with the SPSA told the news conference that the government raised the amounts because it's been a number of years since the supports have been increased. The province says in its latest statement there are 24 active wildfires in Saskatchewan and 33 communities have evacuated. "While we are hoping to soon have some individuals and families repatriated back to their communities, we know that some will have to continue to be evacuated as we deal with ensuring safe cleanup of these devastating wildfires," Saskatchewan Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod said in a statement. "Frontline crews and multiple agencies are working as quickly as possible to do so." Pritchard said the new support for evacuees, which he said remains between 10,000 and 15,000 people, is in addition to the $15 million the government is already supplying to the Canadian Red Cross for evacuee assistance. He told Saturday's news conference that people should not bring donations to hotels where evacuees are staying, noting the government will announce details, possibly early next week, on how people in Saskatchewan can help people displaced by fires. Environment Canada said Saturday a low pressure system passing through the Prairies, currently in northern Saskatchewan and expected to move into Manitoba and northwestern Ontario by Monday, is expected to bring precipitation for areas hit by out-of-control forest fires. The Manitoba government said despite rain in the forecast and temperatures cooling to seasonal levels, Manitoba continues to be under very high to extreme wildfire danger. Northern Alberta was not expected to see much relief from the low-pressure system, according to Environment Canada, as there was little rain in the forecast.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Springfield Public Schools spent the day on Saturday celebrating the power of community.

Golf tournament raises funds for new veterans monument in Springfield This fun-filled event was to help families understand what resources are out there to support them, such as early literacy, middle school transition, college and career readiness, or post-secondary success. This year's theme, 'Believe in the Power of CommUNITY,' was inspired by the superintendent of Springfield Public Schools. 'It's believing in our students and the capabilities that they have, believing in our families, believing in our community,' said Assistant Superintendent Jose Escribano. 'And just the opportunity when all of us come together, we can accomplish great things. But we just have to believe that we can all come together to do that.' Every family also got the chance to complete exit surveys to give feedback about the event and the district. Those surveys led to raffle prizes like PlayStations and grills.
