The smoke and hazy skies from the Canadian wildfires will be sticking around on Thursday in Cleveland but won't be nearly as bad as it was on Wednesday.
The smoky, hazy sky from the Canadian wildfires is sticking around on Thursday. It won't be nearly as bad as it was in Cleveland on Wednesday but even worse farther inland.
Wind overnight pushed the smoke south, so cities like Akron and Canton have a worse air quality level than Cleveland. The levels in Cleveland have moved down from a"very unhealthy" rate to an"unhealthy" rate. Meanwhile Canton has increased from"unhealthy" to"very unhealthy." Cleveland's Air Quality Level was at 153 on Thursday morning, compared to the nearly 300 it was on Wednesday morning. Canton is over 250 and could rise even more.
Throughout the day, Cleveland could drop into the"slightly unhealthy" range.
