Will Canadian wildfire smoke spread to West Virginia?
CLARKSBURG, (WBOY) — Over the past few days, smoke from multiple wildfires in Canada has headed south, crossing into parts of the U.S. But will the haze make it all the way down to the Mountain State? Turns out, it already has. According to FireSmoke Canada, a website that broadcasts results from the Weather Forecast Research Team at the University of British Columbia, smoke from the wildfires in the upper part of Canada was officially in West Virginia as of Monday morning, albeit at low levels. Weather Service rehiring at offices left 'critically understaffed' by layoffs However, things are not expected to improve as we head into Tuesday. According to the forecast from Monday evening, the cloud of lower-level smoke is set to hover over West Virginia through Tuesday. On top of that, a more concentrated cloud is set to make its way north through West Virginia as the day goes on, with the most concentrated parts potentially reaching 60 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter, nearly double the national standard over a 24-hour period, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Levels during this time won't be hazardous to most people. According to the New York Department of Health, levels 51–100 have the potential to affect people with pre-existing conditions that make them sensitive to air quality, but everyone else should be unaffected. The StormTracker 12 team also said West Virginians may be able to see the smoke during sunset on Tuesday and sunrise on Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Travel chaos as thick fog blankets Sydney
Flights have been affected, ferries have been brought to a standstill and motorists are facing traffic nightmares from a thick blanket of fog which has descended over Sydney. Eerie pictures show fog blanketing the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Monday, reducing visibility to barely more than 100 metres during morning peak hour. Sydney Ferries suspended all voyages for a time. Flights have also been affected, with air traffic control spacing out arrivals and departures due to the poor visibility. Road users were being cautioned right across the metro area. 'Reduced visibility in fog will make road conditions dangerous during Monday in all suburbs,' an early morning Bureau of Meteorology alert said. However, by 8.30am the issues on the road had eased. 'The road weather alert for all suburbs has been cancelled, but the situation will continue to be monitored and further alerts will be issued if necessary,' an updated alert says. Despite conditions easing on the roads, ferries were not expected to operate. 'No Sydney ferries are running at all due to the heavy fog,' Sydney Ferries said on Monday morning. 'Make alternative travel arrangements.' However, as the fog lifted, ferries from began operating again, from about 9am, a Transport for NSW spokesman told NewsWire. Footage posted online shows the thick blanket of fog engulfing the city. While there are blue skies above the low level of fog, the mist covers city skyscrapers and landmarks. Video posted from what appears to be an apartment, at least 15 stories high, shows just the top of the Sydney Tower poking out. 'Most of the Sydney landmarks – Harbour Bridge, Opera House and even some of the Sydney Tower, are still asleep behind a blanket of fog. I think it's giving us a message for the start of the work week,' the video caption reads.
