According to AccuWeather, satellite imagery showed smoke from Canadian wildfires once again flowing into the U.S., Although forecasters say it won't be as intense as it was here on the East coast last week, it may still impact air quality in several states.
Smoke from wildfires in Ontario carried into the Upper Midwest on Tuesday morning, June 13.
"We may see some air quality issues over the next few days across the Upper Midwest, especially the eastern Dakotas through Minnesota and northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan due to some of the lower level smoke from numerous fires burning across northern and northwestern Ontario," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
According to AccuWeather, wildfires have burned over 12.3 million acres since the start of the year, roughly 158,676 of which were in Ontario. This week, winds from the north and northeast will carry the smoke from those fires in the province into the Upper Midwest due to the combination of high pressure over the northern Plains and low pressure over the Northeast.
