The temperatures are expected to be a bit lower today than they were yesterday, but there's a new reason to stay indoors with all the doors and windows closed: air quality.
ABC News reported this morning that there are more than 830 wildfires burning in Canada and more than a dozen in northern Minnesota near the border, and the smoke from those fires is now descending on an area from the Midwest to New England, and that includes the Hudson Valley. A Gossips reader reported, "I'm watching with alarm this morning as the air outside my window turns a sickly yellow."
The maps below, reproduced from the ABC News report, show the situation at 9:00 a.m. today and the prediction for 2:00 p.m. this afternoon.
As the maps show, things are expected to get worse for us this afternoon. Information about how to cope with the situation can be found here.
