Hundreds of wildfires burning across the western U.S. and Canada are spewing dense smoke that is being carried hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away.
Hundreds of wildfires burning across the western U.S. and Canada are spewing dense smoke that is being carried hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away through the Plains and Midwest, all the way to the Northeast.The smoke is, at best, leading to hazy skies across wide swaths of the nation and, at worst, degrading air quality.
A smoky haze was even washing out the skies around New York City on Thursday, more than 2,000 miles away from the fires.Smoke will continue to reduce air quality across the central states for the days to come. Across the East, a reinforcing push of smoke will dive south out of Canada on Friday, which may be more noticeable compared to Thursday’s haze as there will be less cloud cover, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
