Canadian Wildfire smoke has returned and upper-level air flow is lining up for us to get blanked with a pretty thick layer of the smoke Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, according to TMJ4 Chief Meteorologist Brian Niznansky.

Niznansky says a cold front could also draw a lot of this smoke down to the surface with poor air quality.

Wildfire smoke and haze will impact air quality and our skies today. This smoke is, once again, from the fires across Canada, being brought in by the mid and upper-level wind pattern. In addition to smoke, skies will be partly cloudy, limiting the amount of sunshine we see. Winds will turn out of the north and northeast today and will be a little breezy by late afternoon. All of this will lead to a day with below-average temperatures; highs will be in the 60s lakeside, with low 70s inland.
