The severe thunderstorms brought strong winds, gusting up to 30 mph, and brief showers, but these conditions have now subsided. Sensitive groups, including children, older adults, and those with asthma, faced heightened risks due to poor air quality from wildfire smoke. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, dehydration, and fatigue were possible for those exerting themselves outdoors. While air quality improved Thursday night, there remains a chance of smoke returning over the weekend, potentially affecting outdoor activities.
