It'll just drop a few degrees, because although visible radiation permeability of the atmosphere has reduced, infrared can usually still get through smog and particulates.

There's also atmospheric convection that'll try to balance out the temperature gradients, so if our regional atmosphere gets a bit colder, there will be an increase of circulation between our area and outlying warmer areas.
