 That system will clear out Saturday morning with cooler, clearer weather in its wake.  That clear weather pattern should persist for the remainder of Saturday and through most of the day Sunday with Good Air Quality.

 Another system approaches during Sunday, as a leading warm front passes during the day.  That system will drag a cold front through the area, Sunday night, with the potential for more severe weather.  Scattered shower activity and cool weather should persist through Monday with Air Quality remaining Good.

 EXTENDED FORECAST:

 Air Quality should be generally Good to follow the holiday weekend.
