Have you noticed that the sky over New England has a milky dusk appearance today?
It’s being caused by wildfire smoke being blown into our area from Canada, and it’s sticking around — the smoke will thicken Wednesday and remain in the upper atmosphere Thursday.
Most of the smoke is forecast to remain aloft over New England, as it is blowing in with the jet stream, but we’re still watching air quality closely through the end of the week. If it does begin moving closer to the surface, air quality will deteriorate quickly.
An orange and yellow glow is possible in the Midwest, with unhealthy and very unhealthy air quality forecast for Wednesday with the smoke remaining thick into Thursday.
This is slowing temperatures from heating up today, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
