Canadian Wildfire Smoke Causes Air Quality Concerns in Northeastern US.

The National Weather Service issued an Air Quality Alert for New York City and parts of the Tri-State area due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires. The smoke is making skies hazy and potentially dangerous, especially for people with respiratory issues. A Red Flag Warning has also been issued for parts of New Jersey, as lightning from isolated thunderstorms could ignite new wildfires. The air quality alert means air pollution concentration in the region will be unhealthy for people with heart or lung disease, children, and adults over 65.
