Smoke from Canadian wildfires is spilling into the Midwest this week and is visible in satellite imagery from the National Weather Service (NWS). According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center, there are 204 active fires spread across multiple provinces as of June 5. Per the NWS reports from Green Bay, Wisconsin:
“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.”
