The smoky haze from Canadian wildfires that’s blanketing the Northeast and New York City could persist until this weekend, predicted the U.S. National Weather Service on Thursday.
The low-pressure system that is driving the apocalyptic-looking smoke over the East Coast is lingering over Nova Scotia, Canada, and Maine, said a meteorologist in a new report. That system will “probably be hanging around at least for the next few days,” National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Ramsey said.
