Clevelanders likely saw a notably-hazy sky cast over Northeast Ohio on Monday morning (July 19).
If they’re wondering why the sky was so hazy, the National Weather Service has them covered.
Retweeting its counterpart from Charleston, West Virginia, the National Weather Service Cleveland offered an explanation for the haziness, and noted that air quality will remain safe as the haze sticks around over the course of this week:
“Wondering why it s so hazy today? The smoke will not affect air quality across our area since it s so high up in the atmosphere. This will likely stick around for the next few days.”

A warm-up is on the way, but weather watchers say not to worry about immediate flooding. We re expecting that any snow pack would melt pretty slowly, said Alexa Maines, meteorologist with the National Weather Service s Cleveland office. We ll definitely significantly reduce the snow pack over the next few days, if not get rid of it.
Temperatures are expected to reach into the mid- to upper-40s later this week in the Akron-Canton area.
The spring thaw in previous years has come with heavy rain onto an already saturated ground, resulting in flooding that has done millions of dollars in damage. Quick warm-ups leave snow melting fast.
