Hurricanes and Wildfires

With Debby passing and leaving us with some heavy rain and flooding, there is a new storm on the horizon; Ernesto.

Accompanying the storm is some pretty heavy smoke blowing into the US Northeast from wildfires in Canada.

Earlier this week, Ernesto graduated from a Tropical Storm into a Category 1 Hurricane. With a path that is currently aiming offshore, we are unlikely to see serious effects. That is subject to change, however, if its path shifts over the next few days.

Track its progress below and stay prepared!

With the Canadian wildfires, we can expect to see some lingering smoke in the next few days. Remember to keep an eye on local air quality.
