Smoke from massive wildfires burning in Ontario, Canada, drifted high above our area Tuesday, bringing milky skies and a faint campfire smell.

By Wednesday, the smoke will cover all of New York State, plus most of New England and Pennsylvania. Experts say it appears New York is the bullseye for the smoke.

As Wednesday goes on, that smoke is expected to settle much closer to the ground. Health officials say to expect the smoke to make the already challenging air quality even more of a problem.

• Eastern Lake Ontario
• Central New York
• Western New York
