Canada wildfire smoke to spread across the US [View all]

Millions of Americans could see hazy skies and worsening air quality over the next few days as smoke from hundreds of wildfires burning across Canada spreads across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast.

More than 830 wildfires were burning across Canada as of Wednesday, with some of the largest blazes in west-central Ontario sending thick plumes of smoke south into the United States, according to ABC News.

The smoke will first impact the Upper Midwest before expanding east into the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through Thursday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Around 100 million people in the U.S. could experience at least some effects, though conditions will vary by location.
