Notably, there are also fire weather concerns for parts of Hawaii, specifically the leeward portions of all Hawaiian Islands and interior sections of the Big Island as dry weather, as well as wind gusts between 35 and 50 mph, will persist through the weekend with conditions improving by late Sunday for the Hawaiian Islands.

Smoke from wildfires blazing across Canada is once again wafting over huge portions of the U.S. Midwest and worsening air quality there. On August 1 conditions are particularly bad in Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.

The smoke is expected to remain over the northern and central Plains of the United States for the next couple of days, according to meteorologists.
