Canadian Wildfire Smoke Hangs Over New Hampshire

Smoke from ongoing wildfires in southern Canada is creating hazy skies across New Hampshire, giving the overcast a yellow-orange tint and keeping temperatures cooler than expected, with highs in the 80s instead of the 90s. The smoke may also reduce the intensity of thunderstorms, but residents are still urged to stay weather-aware this evening. No air quality alerts are currently in effect, with most of the state reporting moderate air quality. The smoky conditions are expected to continue through Wednesday before improving on Thursday.
