Air quality improves after days of choking wildfire smoke
It has been a strange week, to say the least, across the Northeast, where eerie scenes of orange skies grabbed headlines as smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketed the region. The Mars-esque pictures were replaced with images of blue skies on Friday as the smoke began to lift. Rain is expected in Quebec and the Great Lakes region this weekend, which should help with firefighting efforts in Canada.

Will Barrett of the American Lung Association joins FOX Weather to not only breakdown the Canadian wildfires but to give insight on how they compare to American wildfires.
Yellowstone National Park still recovering from last year’s historic flood
