THUR: Air quality gradually increasing, much warmer with afternoon thunderstorms

Good morning! The air quality is FINALLY going to improve throughout the day today. We should eventually get down into the "Moderate" category, so not great, but much better nonetheless. High temperatures will be in the 80s today with some areas south reaching the upper 80s.

This afternoon and tonight, some models are showing a few scattered thunderstorms moving through the area. Some of these could be strong at times, bringing some small hail. This shouldn't be much of a concern, but something to be aware of.
