Smoke from Canadian wildfires continue to spread across the skies across much of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes.

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