Pacific Northwest wildfires bring haze to Philly
As intense fires burn in the Pacific Northwest, Philadelphia's skies are smoky.
Shrouds of smoke from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest again are congesting the skies over the Philadelphia region — and much of the nation. While smoky haze from distant wildfires isn’t all that unusual, said Tom Kines, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc., “to have it this thick, it doesn’t happen very often.” The veil of smoke has dimmed the sun the last two days, and on Tuesday night painted the moon blood orange.
