The smoke is most evident at sunrise and sunset and can provide a more vibrant appearance to the horizon. You may notice a bit of haze from time-to-time Wednesday in what will otherwise be cloud-free skies for most of the region.

The smoke hanging aloft doesn’t appear to pose any significant concerns at the ground level: The Air Quality Index has been oscillating between “good” and “moderate” on the scale.
