Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to spread across the skies across much of the Great Lakes.

The smoke may dim the sun and create colorful sunrises and sunsets. Where smoke is the thickest and reaching the surface, reduced visibilities, and a campfire smell may be evident at times. The smoke will also create air quality issues at times, mainly for sensitive groups. See the links below for more information.
