Canadian Wildfire Smoke Returns As Temperatures Heat Up: See Forecast
Canadian wildfires could bring smoke to New Jersey as things heat back up to normal summer weather, according to the latest forecast.
Thick smoke could coat New Jersey skies early this week as temperatures and humidity climb back up to summer normals, according to the latest forecast.
Canadian wildfires could send smoke down south and make for hazy skies, forecasters say.
The thickest smoke could lower air quality, but it isn't clear how much will reach the Garden State as of Monday morning, and no alerts have been issued.

"How much of it reaches our region still appears uncertain, so will hold off on adding any to the forecast at this time, but its lurking nearby, so something to keep in mind," National Weather Service forecasters said Monday morning.
Low humidity continues Monday and will increase slightly Tuesday and Wednesday. Things should stay dry as well, forecasters say.

"While some guidance hints at a few showers trying to develop inland, the probabilities are rather low and therefore most areas may end up remaining precipitation-free," National Weather Service forecasters said for Wednesday.
Things will gradually become more humid through the weekend. Long-range forecasters predict that warmer than normal temperatures will return next week.
