MW, you know the weather fairly well.
will rain wash out any of this forest fire haze, or does it not work that way?

LMAO - weather forecast on WWJ called for sunny & hazy skies today.
Do they not have access to windows and a live radar over there?
Showers and storms are popping up in quite a few places. Zero mention of precip in the forecast I just heard.
That must have been some kind of error… they were talking storms yesterday.

At 9:08, the AccuWeather guy began with "we're going to need to make a change to the forecast..."
To answer Bill, heavy rain would help to clear the fumes out of the atmosphere, but any relief would be shortlived unless a big change to the mid and upper air pattern takes hold.
Heavy rains where the fires are burning would also help.
Good article on the topic:

Well that’s weird.

A couple of hours later sunny and hazy is correct at least in eastern Washtenaw county.

I noticed rain in Lyon Township, around Eight Mile and Pontiac Trail, but it was bone dry everywhere else. Weird.

Nothing weird at all. That's what the phrase "scattered showers" means. Or, as Sonny Eliot would say, a "renegade shower"

It was weird for me because I was everywhere from Dexter to Macomb Twp that day.

Hey Matt Benz of AccuWeather: THERE IS NO CITY IN OUR AREA CALLED "OAKLAND" !!!
One would think the station's ND or PD would get off their butt and inform him of that fact.
Oakland Township...
