The region is expected to experience hazy skies and deteriorating air quality as wildfire smoke moves from west to east.

Areas of western and central New York are expected to experience unhealthy air quality on Wednesday, June 28 with moderate air quality in eastern New York and parts of New England.

After a prolonged period of unsettled weather, Thursday, June 29 will mark the end of this prolonged stretch, as the skies clear up and the temperature rises to approximately 80 degrees.

The quantity of sunlight will be influenced by the presence of haze caused by wildfire smoke, leading to a higher possibility of deteriorating air quality as the smoke clouds progressively move towards the east.
