Smoke outbreak spawned by a historic wildfire season in Canada is in its final act. Smoky conditions were easing in many places, though the haze may not disappear entirely and could stick around in spots.
Code Red is in the forecast Friday for much of western New York, parts of Connecticut and parts of northern Pennsylvania. Code Orange encompasses a wide area around that, running from Lake Michigan and surrounding areas in the West to Delaware and Massachusetts in the East.
Places least likely to see an extended break from the smoke are those nearer the border with Canada and northward. New patches of smoke were affecting air quality in North Dakota and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on Friday morning. Areas in Quebec also were suffering very poor air quality, especially near the massive uncontrolled blazes east of James Bay.Smoke is quite hard to forecast with accuracy outside a day or two, but we can note potential.
In the June cases, and in the forecast early next week, low pressure was forced to travel underneath a powerful heat dome of high pressure in Canada. Underneath the heat dome, unusually hot and dry conditions are ripe for plentiful smoke production. Under the right circumstances, the smoke will aim south again.as the June 7 and 8 event in the United States, it would have been a wildly remarkable stretch in any other year. Even this year, it’s hard to fully comprehend the wide scope and impacts.
Canton, Ohio: The city’s 208 AQI on Thursday is the second-worst there for smoke, behind the value recorded Wednesday. They both bested the old record of 172 AQI, set in March 2006.
