Baltimore, MD – Aug. 2, 2023 - Smoke from wildfires in central Canada returned to Maryland on Wednesday, causing hazy skies with the peak expected between 5 to 9 p.m., according to PP. Forecasters warned sensitive groups to limit outdoor activities due to potential health risks from the air pollutants in the smoke. However, the good news is that overnight southeast winds are expected to clear the smoke from Maryland by Thursday morning. Thunderstorms are possible on Thursday. The ongoing wildfires in Canada are drifting farther north, reducing health concerns as the smoke disperses higher up in the atmosphere before reaching the U.S.
