Hazy Sky Monday Evening

You may have noticed the afternoon and evening sky having a little more of a hazy look to it Monday, and a little more of a red glow with the setting sun.  The haze-filled sky was a result of wildfires burning in southern Canada. 

Ed Pilar captured the sun setting Monday evening over Dixon, haze on the horizon with the sun holding a red glow.

Visible Satellite Tuesday: 5:50pm   
Persistent northeast winds from low pressure east of Illinois pulled the smoke south over much of Wisconsin and Illinois during the day.  A shifting jet stream pattern Tuesday kept our upper level winds more from the northwest, versus northeast.  But a quick look at visible satellite Tuesday evening does show haze and smoke filling the skies over the Upper Midwest.
