VERY UNHEALTHY - Poor air quality continues this morning from lingering wildfire smoke - but “slowly” improving this afternoon / evening

Smoke from Canadian wildfires has been spreading across the region high up in the atmosphere. In addition to filtering the sunshine at times, this can result in spectacularly colorful sunrises & sunsets. This graphic from @NWSStateCollege explains why.

You may notice that the sunset looks more red/orange than usual this evening.
This is because the smoke is only allowing for red and orange wavelengths of light to pass through it.
Check out this great graphic from @NWSStateCollege for a full explanation of why this occurs!
