Dense smoke from Canadian wildfires is blowing into U.S. Wildfire smoke from Manitoba, Canada, will blow across two dozen states through Saturday, reducing air quality and creating hazy skies.

Here we go again - remember that breathing wildfire smoke isn’t good for your lungs, heart, or brain. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...
