Canadian wildfire smoke impacts Southern Tier air quality
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM)— The Southern Tier was under an air quality advisory for 'fine particulate matter' because of the smoke from the wildfires burning in Canada on Saturday, June 7. Doctors are recommending that people stay aware of the effects of unhealthy air conditions in the area. 'Smoke has started to move in because of the Canadian wildfires, and what we have been seeing these days with lots of sunshine and dry conditions, which makes it a lot easier for that smoke to move into our region,' said Alivia Colón, 18 Storm team meteorologist One injured after house fire breaks out in Village of Savona on Sunday There are several ways to determine if air quality is affecting an individual. The impact can occur over time. 'You may hear increased wheezing, moving around becomes a lot more challenging, such as climbing stairs or hills, you may also have other signs of irritation, such as cough, throat irritation, and other allergy-type symptoms,' said Bradley DeWitt, Centralus Health Physician Assistant. Air quality affects everyone, even if it doesn't seem to do so. According to the Department of Ecology, State of Washington, exposure to smoke in the air can make existing heart and lung conditions worse. NYSDEC issues air quality advisory for Southern Tier, Finger Lakes on Saturday & Sunday 'Smoke is smoke, it's not great for anybody's lungs, so I think when the air quality alert is issued, I think in general you should limit your time spent outside,' said Colón. It is especially important for older individuals and people with pre-existing health conditions are more susceptible to stay up to date on air quality.

Farmers ready for warmer weather to help crops as dry conditions move in

(Photo by Cami Koons/Iowa Capital Dispatch) Iowa corn, soybeans, oats and hay crops all rated 80% good or excellent during the latest crop progress and condition report, even as the U.S. Drought Monitor logged most of the state in abnormally dry conditions. According to the monitor's Thursday report, 71% of the state is in abnormally dry or moderate drought conditions. Soil moisture conditions, however, remained nearly consistent with last week's crop report, with around 70% of subsoil and topsoil measured with adequate moisture. John Gilbert, a Hardin County farmer with a diversified operation, said his fields were 'borderline dry' but otherwise in 'pretty good shape.' 'Actually, if there's a time to be dry, this is the time to be, because it gets the roots down,' Gilbert said. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX Gilbert also raises livestock and said despite the drier conditions, his pastures are also in 'pretty good shape.' Across the state, pasture rated 70% good or excellent, which was a slight decrease from last week's report. According to the report, a handful of farmers started their second cutting of alfalfa hay during the reporting period, with the first cutting 77% completed across the state. Oats in the state continued to progress, with 53% headed and 10% turning color. Gilbert said his crops had been 'slow coming up' this year due to the colder temperatures, but thankfully he hasn't had to replant any areas. State Climatologist Justin Glisan reported Iowa's temperatures were 'slightly cooler' during the reporting period, but the statewide average temperature was slightly less than one degree below the normal. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig said the warmer temperatures and rain in the forecast 'should give the corn and soybeans a lift.' 'The crops could use some heat, and it looks like it's on the way,' Naig said. Iowans might have noticed some lingering haze in the air this week from the Canadian wildfires, which can reduce solar radiation. Glisan reported western Iowa and some parts on the eastern edge of the state saw above-average precipitation during the week, yet other areas of the state logged around a 10th of an inch for the week.
