Canadian Forest Fires Impact US Sky Cover

It was a very pleasant day in Rockford and along the Stateline, but you may have noticed a bit of a milky/hazy look to our clouds. That's because smoke from wild fires in Alberta, Canada has drifted into much of the central United States. The jet stream pattern was positioned in a way so as to take that smoke over much of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Visible satellite pictures gave us a very clear picture of this trend today and will keep us under mostly cloudy skies for tomorrow!
