NEW YORK — Wildfires burning in Canada continue to create poor air quality conditions in the U.S. as the smoke makes its way south.
Hazy skies, low visibility and poor air quality will be present in most of the Northeast and the Midwest and even as far south as the Carolinas.
Air quality is currently deemed"unhealthy" for millions of residents. With these ratings, all individuals, not just sensitive groups, should limit time spent outdoors. Another large and dense plume of smoke is making its way down across parts of the Northeast on Wednesday, delivering a one-two punch for cities like New York City and Philadelphia, which will worsen the air quality yet again -- perhaps even more dangerous than conditions were on Tuesday.
A storm system approaching the East Coast this weekend will then shift winds to a more southerly direction, easing the effects of the wildfire smoke. Firefighters are currently unable to get the wildfires under control, François Legault, a member of the Canadian parliament serving Quebec, told reporters during a news conference on Monday. Firefighters in other provinces are unable to assist because they are battling their own fires but an additional 200 firefighters are traveling from France and the U.S., Legault said.
