The wildfire smoke that’s floated from Nova Scotia, Canada, to southeastern Massachusetts this week was visible near Boston Wednesday morning.
A southwestern wind has been carrying the smoke about 300 miles from Nova Scotia, across the North Atlantic. It prompted an air quality alert in Massachusetts on Tuesday.
And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued an air quality advisory Wednesday for Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. "Hazy skies, reduced visibility, and the odor of burning wood is very likely as the smoke plumes are transported over the region," the advisory said, urging people with preexisting medical conditions to stay indoors.First Alert forecastToday: Hazy sunshine and warm. Highs in the 80s inland, mid to upper 70s at the coast. Overnight Tonight: Some patchy low clouds and fog. Lows in the 50s. Thursday: Sunny and hot.
