Haze and smoky conditions could stick around New Jersey for a couple of more days, according to the National Weather Service.
“It’s really hard to forecast smoke and air quality out more than a day or so in advance, but in my experience it tends to linger a little longer than we initially think,” Dodd said. “So until we see kind of a more substantial shift in the overall prevailing winds in the lower atmosphere and/or we get some widespread rain coming through — not just a passing shower — it’ll tend to hang pretty tough.
In the meantime, Dodd says it’s best to spend most of Wednesday inside, if possible as air quality is unhealthy, according to“From anyone with cardiovascular issues or asthma and lung issues — not a good idea,” Dodd said of being outside. “We’re easily in the red, aka unhealthy levels, and that means some members of the general public could experience health effects. It may go up into the purple — aka very unhealthy scale — which means the health effects increase for everybody.
Dodd also suggested members of sensitive groups wear an N95 mask if there’s a need to spend an extended amount of time outside.Our journalism needs your support. Please subscribe today to
