Have you noticed all the haze in the sky since Wednesday afternoon? That’s coming from the wildfires in Canada.
Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan says this smoke is in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere.
“Fortunately for us, it’s having very little impact on the air quality for us right near the ground,” Monahan says.

The smoke will stay with us through Friday before the pattern changes, pushing the smoke away and bringing rain back into the area. You will also notice a beautiful red sun during tonight’s sunset and Friday’s sunrise.
