Wildfire smoke is pouring into the Midwest from Canada as dozens of fires burn north of the border. Let's get you caught up on all the latest information:
Where Is The Biggest Risk Right Now? Since the upper Midwest is closest to the fires burning in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, upper-level winds are blowing the thick smoke southward. This has prompted air quality alerts for the entire state of Wisconsin on Friday, as well as parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northern Minnesota.

Chicago residents could also experience degraded air quality as the smoke pushes southward.
Where The Smoke Could Invade Next From weather.com senior digital meteorologist Chris Dolce:
The image below shows near-surface smoke on Saturday afternoon – this is the kind of smoke that can be unhealthy to breathe since it's at the lower levels. As you can see, the greatest concentrations of that will be in the Midwest and Northern Plains today through this weekend. However, some of it is modeled in a less concentrated fashion into the South and East this weekend:

I recall questions being raised in yeats past about eco-arson in Canada and our Pacific Nothwest. Can any Freepers update this?
They know how to construct breaks...and we know they work. And a few more towers wouldn’t hurt and don’t have to be manned...thanks to technology. A drone or two wouldn’t hurt.
Some might consider this development as an active form of
“Canada’s MAGA Clapback”. ///
And the rains will come....and all will be right.
I think that it was decided that there is a lot of arson but it has been kept down low. It is an antifa technique.
It was pretty bad in The NE a few years ago.
Like California, is there anything left to burn up there?
Canadian smoke to the left of me, African dust to the right and here I am, stuck in the middle with you!
Canada, defender of all things environmental, burns its forests.
So when are people going to sue Canada for global warming because of the pollution the wildfires are producing?
“”I recall questions being raised in yeats past about eco-arson in Canada and our Pacific Nothwest. Can any Freepers update this?””
No, but I recall reading about anti-West Muslim jihadi-arsonists being encouraged in mosques throughout the Middle East decades ago. One can only assume that all of these terrorists are at play and have been.
The environmentalists complain when you manage the forests but yet complain about the dirty air when you have fires.
These fires are probably not caused deliberately, start areas too remote. Not rating arson as likely a factor as some previous cases.
Remember when you were a kid and you sat around a campfire??? It’s kind of like that but bigger. When you sat around that campfire as a kid, did anybody tell you then that it wasn’t good for you???
Exactly!
Suck it up, you will survive.
Sue them for releasing excessive CO2.
I’m in the path in SW Wisconsin, but I’m only 5’ tall, so I should be OK. ;)
