Orange smog could blanket New York again Thursday as wildfires rage on
Extreme wildfire activity, with over half of the fires considered out of control, will continue to push the thick smog into the northern portion of the US Thursday before the weather pattern takes a turn to head southeast.
Satellite images shared by Thomas show the smoke will likely enter through the Midwest Thursday morning before swooping down and heading toward the South and East Coast later Thursday through Friday. As the smoke leaves the Dakotas and Minnesota on Thursday, Fox forecasters say it may swing back and enter the Great Lakes and Northeast regions by Friday.New York City experienced its worst Air Quality Index rating on record last week as winds pushed heavy smoke from the wildfires into the region, blanketing the city in apocalyptic orange smog.
The haze caused air quality in parts of the Big Apple to reach “very unhealthy” levels, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s index. The air quality index reached 353 last Wednesday, far worse than New Delhi’s 190, and the normal index of 100 for New York. Share this article:
