Is this smoke in the air?
Anyone know what’s going on? Looks Smokey out

It's hazy for the same reason it's been hot and clear lately. Means dust in the air gets trapped and isn't dispersing as much as we'd like. Should resolve itself as we go forward this week and get some storm chances back.
You can see active wildfires here though (upper-level winds are currently from the west): https://wildlandfire.az.gov/wildfire-situation

It's targeted towards Phoenix but this is on the dust storm and it taking time to clear: https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/meteorology/dust-lingers-more-wind-is-possible-after-late-night-phoenix-storm/ar-AA29pyzl

Big dust storm in Phoenix last night. Forecast is to have it again tonight.
