Wildfire smoke from Canada and Minnesota pushes farther into the US and engulfs DC in haze

Wildfire smoke from Canada and Minnesota is causing unhealthy air quality across the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions, leading to health advisories and disruptions like the postponement of a Cleveland Guardians baseball game. The smoke, driven by ongoing uncontrolled fires, is expected to persist for at least a week, with potential temporary relief from weekend storms. D.C. residents reported visibility issues and haze obscuring landmarks like the Washington Monument.
