Warmer temperatures return for the weekend, wildfire smoke to glaze the sky
ST. LOUIS – The lingering rain of Thursday evening has exited, but some clouds and a few wrap-around showers will linger through 8 a.m. Friday morning.
Skies will clear later Friday morning, with sunshine returning Friday afternoon. Temperatures are expected to reach highs in the upper 70s. That sunshine may be a bit hazy Friday due to smoke from Canadian wildfires moving through the upper atmosphere and into the Mississippi River Valley. Expect that smoke to be around through the weekend, leading to some stunning sunrises and sunsets.

The weekend looks much warmer and almost completely dry, with high temperatures in the mid-80s for Saturday and mid- to upper 80s for Sunday. A backdoor cold front, sinking out of the Great Lakes, may squeeze a few spot showers out over Illinois late Saturday. Most will stay dry.
We'll be in the upper 80s early next week, close to the 90 F mark we have yet to hit officially this calendar year in St. Louis. It's expected to be cloudy Tuesday with breezy conditions and rain chances late in the day.

Denver weather: Sunny skies over weekend before showers next week
DENVER (KDVR) — Mostly sunny skies return to the Denver weather forecast this weekend as highs make their way into the 70s and 80s. Public's help asked to give RiNo rhino a name Most of the rain that will come on Saturday remains to the south with the potential of an isolated storm or two in the metro after 2 p.m.. Most will remain dry, however. High temperatures return into the upper 70s and lower 80s with winds out of the north and west. There will be lots of sunshine in the first half of the day, with clouds building in the afternoon. Showers and storms will bubble up mainly to the south of Denver, though the city could get swiped with some rain by Saturday evening. The clouds that will linger Saturday afternoon will clear out overnight. Overnight lows will drop into the middle to lower 50s with winds shifting out of the north and east. There could be another round of late-day storms on Sunday. Again, the chance is low, meaning most places will not see the showers. Rain chances will quickly increase on Monday through Wednesday, with Tuesday bringing the best chance for rain. There is the possibility of getting more than an inch to an inch and a half of moisture over the three days. May brought above normal rain and is responsible for everything being so green! So, it looks like that trend may continue for the start of June next week.

When to expect the heaviest Canadian wildfire smoke in Minnesota this weekend
When to expect the heaviest Canadian wildfire smoke in Minnesota this weekend originally appeared on Bring Me The News. All of Minnesota will experience poor air quality this weekend as smoke — both near the surface and at higher altitudes — invades from wildfires that are burning out of control in Canada. Minnesotans will be able to see and smell the smoke when it nears the surface. "Due to Canadian wildfires, air quality across all of central-southern MN into western WI will be degraded to the Unhealthy For Sensitive Groups (AQI Orange) level through Monday. Thus, Air Quality Alerts have been issued by both MPCA and WIDNR," says the National Weather Service. "A cold front will drag smoke from large wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan southward across the Upper Midwest. Multiple waves of smoke will then follow for Saturday through Monday, resulting in a prolonged period of degraded air quality. "Sensitive groups, such as those with lung disease, heart disease, children and older adults may experience health effects and should limit prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors." Sign up for our BREAKING WEATHER newsletters According to the weather service, "some improvement is expected across eastern MN tonight before building back east Sunday with the warm front. Periods of smoke will then persist into Monday." The near-surface smoke, which is unhealthy for everyone, will worsen throughout the day from north to south across Minnesota. The graphic below from the Grand Forks office the National Weather Service does a nice job of showing how smoke near the surface will evolve Saturday. Sunday could be worse as near-surface smoke could expand throughout more of Minnesota. Take a look: "The surface smoke is in sufficient concentrations for people to see and smell. There is high confidence that all Minnesotans will experience some level of air quality impact from smoke, and that some may experience significant air quality impacts," says the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). "Smoke concentrations may decrease at times in some parts of the state through the duration of the air quality alert, but afternoon heating and atmospheric mixing (which helps to bring smoke from aloft down to the surface) should result in additional rounds of poor air quality each day." While air quality alerts are in effect through Monday, it doesn't mean the smoke will go away next week. In fact, the MPCA says "additional fresh rounds of heavy surface smoke are possible from Monday into Wednesday of next week." A helpful tool to check the air quality in your location can be found here. Just enter your zip code for current air quality values.
