Neighbors are grateful no one is hurt after massive tree falls on of two homes in Trenton, New Jersey

Strong winds left behind quite a bit of damage as large trees came down on houses in Trenton, New Jersey. Neighbors noticed the winds picking up very quickly. A massive tree fell on two homes along Newell Avenue in Trenton Friday night. Troy Livingston, who lives across the street, said he was cooking on the grill when the dark clouds rolled in and the wind picked up. "It was just one gust of wind," Livingston said. The next second, he said the tree came down. "Before it started raining, we just heard a weird sound," he said. Firefighters and city crews were on scene assessing the damage. CBS News Philadelphia was told no one lives in the homes currently. Although Livingston said his sister used to live in one of them and she just moved out a week ago. Neighbors also said this wasn't the first time a tree fell on their street this summer. They said a tree fell on their cars in June. "They are hollow, so they just fall and it didn't even start raining. It was the wind," Livingston said. People who live and were visiting when the tree came down said they are just happy no one was hurt.

Philadelphia skies will be hazy Tuesday due to Canadian wildfire smoke, but no air quality alerts in effect

Smoke from the Canadian wildfires will be visible in the Philadelphia region on Tuesday, but no major impacts on air quality are expected. Over 100 "out of control" fires are burning across Canada, in particular the provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, which sit to the north of midwest and mountain states including Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. The Canadian Interagency Fire Center says there are 10 new fires as of Tuesday morning. In the U.S., smoke has particularly impacted air quality in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. In Minneapolis and St. Paul, an air quality alert was in effect for forecasted "unhealthy" air, while in other parts of the state, air quality was predicted to reach the "hazardous" level. How Philadelphia region will be impacted by Canada wildfires Winds are carrying some of that smoke to the eastern U.S. on Tuesday. Smoke in the Philadelphia area will mostly stay high in the atmosphere, and the air we breathe down on the ground should stay relatively clear. No air quality alerts are in effect at this time. The haze will start to appear Tuesday afternoon and you will probably notice the difference compared to a perfectly clear day — but the sun should still be visible. Remember that even if it seems a little less sunny than a clear day, the sun's UV rays can still make it to the surface. You should still use sun protection as normal if you're outdoors. This is a far different situation compared to 2023, when smoke from fires burning in Quebec descended down to the surface, greatly impacting air quality across the East Coast — and at one point, giving Philadelphia the worst air quality in the world. Map shows when wildfire smoke is thickest over Philadelphia CBS News Philadelphia This map from our morning newscasts shows the thickest smoke, represented by the redddish orange color, setting in around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. before cycling out overnight. Areas like the Jersey Shore could see some lingering thicker smoke Wednesday morning, which might make for a brilliant sunrise. How can I monitor air quality near me? When air quality turns hazardous, local health authorities will issue alerts — typically the worst these get is a Code Orange, meaning the air is unhealthy for sensitive groups, like people with lung conditions. CBS News Philadelphia The air quality index ranges from green for good to maroon for hazardous. You can see the full scale in the image above. If an air quality alert is issued for smoke, it means the air contains a higher-than-normal measured concentration of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns, commonly abbreviated as PM2.5. PM2.5 is narrower in diameter than a human hair and due to its small size, can penetrate into the deepest parts of your lungs, with potential to induce inflammation or tissue damage. As of Tuesday morning, June 3, there are no air quality alerts in the Philadelphia region including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. You can see real-time air conditions on a map at

Tuesday starts cool with mostly sunny skies before rain hits Philadelphia region. Here's the forecast.

Temperatures Tuesday morning will turn a little cooler under mostly clear skies, with overnight lows bottoming out in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees in the Philadelphia region. The influence of high pressure, however, will provide plenty of sunshine through most of the day on Tuesday. This will allow temperatures to climb back into the low 70s Tuesday afternoon before our next weather maker is set to bring widespread rain and unseasonably cool temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon will likely struggle to climb out of the 50s, with overnight lows remaining around 50 degrees. On-and-off rain will begin Wednesday morning and persist through Thursday, with rain becoming a little more scattered in nature on Friday. At this time, the Philly region could get 1-3 inches of rain spread out over a few days, so flooding isn't a huge concern now. We will continue to monitor the forecast models and update as the days approach. The rainy weather finally looks to start to clear out just in time to kick off the Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures look to remain a little cool on Saturday with highs in the upper 60s, but it gets a little closer to normal in the middle 70s for Sunday. Memorial Day itself remains beyond the 7-day forecast, but currently looks to remain rain-free with temperatures in the mid-70s. Here's your 7-day forecast: Tuesday: Mostly sunny. High of 73, low of 50. Wednesday: Chilly rain. High of 58, low of 55. Thursday: Chilly rain. High of 59, low of 51. Friday: Stray shower. High of 68, low of 51. Saturday: Mostly sunny. High of 67, low of 52. Sunday: Mostly sunny. High of 72, low of 52. Monday: Sunny, breezy. High of 74, low of 54.
