Wildfire Smoke May Return To NJ: See Latest Weather Forecast

NEW JERSEY — Satellites show some wildfire smoke in the atmosphere of New Jersey on Tuesday that could cast a shadow on an otherwise sunny day, said weather forecasters.

"Mostly sunny skies on Tuesday may be dimmed slightly as another plume of wildfire smoke moves toward us from Canada," the National Weather Service said.

The smoke was moving southward over Lake Erie on Monday night. Forecasts from BlueSky Canada show plumes of smoke are continuing to drift southeast Tuesday.

Air quality levels are expected to be "moderate" across the state today, according to AirNow.gov.

Levels of fine particulate matter in the air are not expected to create harsh breathing conditions at this time, as "very little" has reached the ground as of Tuesday morning, the NWS said.
