Wildfires in Canada are still creating smoke that is drifting down to us today. A high pressure center to our north is allowing that smoke to stream into our region then sink down here to the ground instead of staying thousands of feet above our heads. 

Did you notice a haze in the sky today? Originally an Air Quality Alert was issued for expected higher levels of surface ozone that would be unhealthy for sensitive groups. Thursday morning that Air Quality Alert was updated to include smoke particles in the air, too, which caused that haze you saw. 

Did you notice the sun looked a little red/pink as it rose this morning? You're not alone and you're not crazy. Atmospheric smoke is creeping back into our area today. 

Have you notice a haze or a film over the sky today? Don't wipe off your glasses or rub your eyes; it's really there.
