## Resource

New York, parts of Jersey, and Connecticut are still choking on smoke from Canadian wildfires — thick haze, campfire smell, and low visibility persisting since Wednesday. Air quality hit “unhealthy” levels Friday morning (over 150) and peaked at 278 Thursday night. While not as bad as last June’s nightmare, it’s definitely noticeable and unsettling. The good? Conditions should improve over the weekend — but Saturday’s First Alert Weather Day brings scattered storms, possible damaging winds, hail, and flash flooding. Stay safe and stay aware.
