Less haze Saturday & beyondOn Saturday, the upper-level pattern will shift out of the southwest. Unfortunately for our friends in the Kittitas Valley, you’ll still have to contend with some hazier skies on Saturday and Sunday (given the proximity to the Wildcat Fire). For the rest of our lower elevation spots, the skies will be noticeably less hazy. The overall smoke/haze situation should improve even more with next week’s cooler and wetter weather. 2.
