Smoke from Canadian wildfires could once again reach NYC Monday

New Yorkers could wake up to hazy skies Monday morning as smoke from ongoing Canadian wildfires is expected to reach the Big Apple by sunrise.

New York City officials sounded the alarm Sunday over the potential plume of wildfire smoke two days after Mayor Eric Adams faced backlash for not issuing a more forceful warning leading up to heavy rain that flooded parts of the city Friday.

Current forecasts indicate the Air Quality Index will be about 55, which means “there may be some risk to people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution,” the city said in a press release.

“While we continue to actively monitor potential air quality concerns for Monday morning, currently, the impacts are projected to be mild, though New Yorkers will likely see hazy skies in the morning,” Adams said in a statement.

Not seeing any smoke or haze from where I'm sitting in midtown this morning.

Not seeing any smoke or haze from where I'm sitting in midtown this morning.

I just checked the air quality indexes on my computer and it looks good for the next couple days.

Looks like Justin Castreau is too busy censoring free speech to worry about forest fires.
