New Jersey, Delaware and southeast Pennsylvania are all under a Code Orange Air Quality Alert due to Canadian wildfires.
Smoke from a wildfire more than 600 miles away is impacting the Delaware Valley, bringing hazy conditions to the area and prompting air quality alerts. Authorities say the fire has burned more than 25,000 acres of land and damaged about 200 homes. A wildfire burning in Nova Scotia has led to code orange air quality alerts in several New Jersey and Pennsylvania counties.
Amanda Lee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, in Mount Holly, New Jersey, explained, "We have a high pressure that’s centered offshore, so the winds around that are blowing from the northeast to the southwest, which is not often the case. More typically we see prevailing winds coming from the south or southwest, so in this scenario, that’s how we’re getting some of the smoke impacts all the way from Nova Scotia.
"We smelt it. You kind of smell a slight tint to the air that didn’t smell comfortable or comforting," Mt. Holly resident Lawrence Wilson stated.
