Hazy Skies Reported Near Cincinnati From Western Wildfire Smoke

Smoke from wildfires on the West Coast has traveled across the United States, creating hazy conditions in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, September 15, local media reported. Wildfires raging throughout California have burned more than 3.2 million acres since the start of the year, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. There were 25 “major” wildfires burning across California as of Tuesday, and a number of fires in Oregon and surrounding states. Reports said smoke “suspended” in the atmosphere was pushed across the country by winds. Local media said the smoke won’t “necessarily” impact air quality.
