Canadian wildfire smoke may bring ‘red haze' to Baltimore on Tuesday
If Tuesday's sunrise looks a little strange or even prettier than usual, it's not your eyes deceiving you, but rather smoke in the upper levels of the atmosphere over Maryland. Dozens of wildfires are burning in Canada, leading to the evacuation of thousands of Canadians in three provinces and spreading masses of thick smoke to places in the U.S., from the Midwest to the Carolinas. Baltimore will see some hazy skies related to the smoke on Tuesday, said Gerard Jebaily, the chief meteorologist for FOX45 News. 'We're expected to see some fairly dense smoke move overhead throughout tomorrow through most of the day, if not the entire day,' Jebaily said on Monday. While the smoke will be visible, particularly at sunrise and sunset, residents probably will not be able to smell it, nor will it impact the region's air quality, he said. 'The majority of [the smoke] is going to be in the upper levels, so it won't make it to the ground, so we may not have any visibility problems,' Jebaily said. Maryland saw the influx of wildfire smoke from Canada in the summers of 2023 and 2024, to a lesser extent. In June 2023, air quality was 'very unhealthy' at times, but Tuesday is unlikely to be a repeat. Jebaily noted that temperatures could be affected because the smoke may filter out some sunshine. 'It will look very hazy and the sun may have an eerie, red haze to it as it peeks through,' he said. Residents can expect the sun to look orange or reddish for most of Tuesday. 'Sunsets and sunrises may look especially strange and at the same time, maybe pretty,' he said. Got a news tip? Send it to nzimmerman@
