West Coast wildfire smoke making its way into Maryland skies
Posted on
NOTTINGHAM, MD—The skies in Maryland have become a bit more hazy in recent days.
The National Weather Service says this is due to smoke from the U.S. wildfires, which is getting transported across the country via the jet stream.
The massive Bootleg Fire in Oregon has scorched an area larger than Los Angeles, and is so large and is burning so hot that it’s creating its own weather, according to CNN.
While most of the smoke is higher in the sky, some of it is making its way closer to the ground.
