Smoke & Heat Alert for Maryland | Baltimore News

Maryland’s air is turning hazy and hazardous as wildfire smoke from Canada and Midwest burns drifts down, mixing with ground-level ozone from the heat wave. A “code orange” alert means it’s especially tough on kids, seniors, and those with heart or lung issues — expect coughing, dizziness, fatigue, and flare-ups. The smoke is expected to sink lower and thicken through tonight and into Thursday/Friday, with poor air quality likely to linger even after the heat breaks this weekend. Stay indoors, keep windows shut, and ease up on outdoor activity. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
