## Resource

Code Purple air quality alert is hitting south-central Pennsylvania as wildfire smoke from southern Ontario and northern Minnesota blankets the region, creating hazardous breathing conditions and hazy skies. Visibility is down, and everyone — not just those with health issues — is at risk of coughing, throat irritation, and stinging eyes. Officials urge residents to keep windows shut, use recirculate mode, and limit outdoor time. Temperatures will hit 90 degrees under the smoky haze, with conditions expected to improve slightly by Saturday but remain poor through Sunday and Monday. Check AirNow.gov for real-time updates using your ZIP code — current readings show purple to maroon, the worst on the scale.
