An air quality alert has been issued by the New York State Department of Health this weekend due to smoke from wildfires in Canada.
The air quality health advisory covers New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area, including Long Island, as well as the Lower Hudson Valley, Upper Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks.
The advisory went into effect at noon Saturday and was extended until 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
In addition to the smoke and haze, more severe storms could hit the Tri-State Area today after Saturday was another hot day in the region. Record-breaking heat on Friday also helped fuel thunderstorms that did significant damage on Staten Island and in New Jersey.
