Smelling smoke outside? It may be drifting into our area from Canadian wildfires.

Wildfire smoke can travel hundreds of miles and may reduce local air quality. Residents—especially children, older adults, and those with heart or respiratory conditions—should monitor conditions and limit strenuous outdoor activity when air quality becomes unhealthy.

Check current conditions at AirNow.gov and continue to monitor local alerts and forecasts.
