Thick, choking plumes of smoke from Canadian wildfires are pouring into major cities across the Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, bringing dangerous air quality to more than 100 million people. The polluted air will last through at least Saturday in some areas as new waves of smoke waft south.

Wildfire smoke is creating unhealthy to hazardous air quality from the Great Lakes to the Northeast, expect cleaner air to gradually return as winds shift by this weekend.
Storms will bring downpours and localized flooding, but they could also help clear wildfire smoke and be the “golden ball” for Sunday’s final.
