First Alert Weather: Higher humidity returning along with rain eventually increasing
Higher humidity has moved back in, along with hazy skies, thanks to the jet stream drawing smoke from Canadian wildfires south all the way to the Southeast U.S.
The smoke will gradually thin and dissipate over the next day or two.

Here's what you can expect for the rest of the week:
Tuesday will be very warm and humid with isolated afternoon showers.
Rainfall coverage will begin to increase Tuesday night and even more so for Wednesday and Thursday, when everyone will get at least some rain. The heaviest amounts will be roughly from Interstate 95 to the beaches.
Highs will be near 90 on Tuesday, then the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday.
We'll go back to a more 'normal' early summer weather pattern Friday into the weekend – hot & humid with a few afternoon storms.
INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood
TROPICS: (1) An area of weak low pressure will develop by midweek northeast of Jacksonville & near the coast of the Carolinas. While this area has been highlighted in yellow by the NHC for a low risk of development, there will be few, if any, direct impacts to Jacksonville/Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia. Tropical moisture will bring showers and storms to the local area with or without any low pressure actually developing.
(2) Keeping an eye on the Western Caribbean and Southern Gulf for possible longer-range tropical development – not likely til at least sometime next week, if at all. Always more at 'Talking the Tropics With Mike.'

Wildfires Prompt Hudbay and Alamos Gold to Evacuate Canada Mines
Raging Canadian wildfires have forced evacuations from several mining operations as heat and wind push flames across the resource-rich western provinces. Fires prompted Hudbay Minerals Inc. to evacuate its gold and copper mine near northern Manitoba's city of Flin Flon, the company said in a Wednesday statement. Only essential personnel, authorized by emergency services, will remain at the company's Snow Lake mine to help with emergency activities.

Canada's Hudbay Minerals pauses Snow Lake operations due to wildfires
(Reuters) -Canadian mining company Hudbay Minerals said on Wednesday it had temporarily suspended operations in Snow Lake, Manitoba, due to wildfires in the region. Additionally, exploration activities in the Flin Flon and Snow Lake regions have been paused as fire mitigation efforts are underway, the company added. The company said it believes its infrastructure and facilities in Snow Lake and Flin Flon have a low risk of being damaged. "We will continue to monitor the situation, ensuring a safe return to full operations as soon as it is advisable," said Rob Carter, Hudbay's senior vice president, Canada. The company's actions come after local authorities issued a precautionary early evacuation notice for the town of Snow Lake on Tuesday. Hudbay's Manitoba operations produced 7.7 million pounds of copper in the first quarter of 2025, 7.2% of the company's total production. Last week, Manitoba declared a state of emergency and urged thousands of people in northern and eastern parts of the province to evacuate, as wildfires spread in Central and Western Canada. The outbreak of fires across much of western Canada's north is due to unusually hot and dry conditions and flames are consuming hundreds of thousands of hectares of tinder-dry forest and bushland. Separately, wildfires in Alberta province have also prompted the temporary shutdown of some oil and gas production, with Cenovus Energy scaling back its nonessential workers at its Foster Creek facility.
