Summary
Smoke’s still choking western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia—air quality at “very unhealthy” levels with visibility down to half a mile. A statewide Code Purple alert is in effect: stay indoors if you’re sensitive, and everyone else ease up outside. The haze will linger through Friday night as weather traps it in a tight band, but relief arrives Saturday morning as it drifts northeast—most areas clear by noon. Just don’t relax: severe storms with damaging winds and a slight tornado risk hit Saturday afternoon. And Sunday? More smoke might creep back in as northern fires stubbornly burn despite rain.
