Canadian Wildfires Cause Air Quality Alerts in Northeastern US.

Smoke from widespread wildfires in Ontario and Quebec will cause noticeable air quality issues in New England on Tuesday, with the heart of the plume expected to pass by Wednesday morning. Over 100 fires are currently burning in northwestern Quebec, with dozens of additional fires in Ontario. The smoke will be close to the surface, causing an acrid smoky scent and Air Quality Alerts will stay in effect from midnight Tuesday through midnight Wednesday. Anyone with sensitivity to air quality or other breathing-related issues should limit time outdoors, if possible.
