Wildfire smoke from Canada. It's that simple. There are currently over 1,200 wilfires burning at the moment. We are now in northwestly flow which means that smoke gets funneled into our area over the weekend. That's why the sky will have a hazy appearance. Smoke concentrations will remain elevated in the upper levels of our atmosphere through Monday so that shouldn't have an impact on air quality. Just keep in mind that could change.
