Mapped: Canada's wildfires are impacting air quality in these US communities
Smoke from wildfires still raging in Canada is degrading air quality across the northern U.S., turning skies a murky orange hue and forcing sensitive groups indoors. In New York, the smoke could be seen in the upper atmosphere from satellites, and an air quality alert was in effect until 11 p.m. Thursday evening. Poor air quality was also in store for Chicagoans, who were told to reduce time spent outdoors. Government maps showed the worst levels of particle pollution around the Windy City and Detroit, with the latter under an advisory through noon on Friday. In Chicago, one area saw an Air Quality Index at a level of 157, which is deemed 'unhealthy.' The particle pollution can affect the eyes, throat, lungs, and heart. Sometimes, it can even lead to premature death. 'It's probably a good idea to limit time outside,' Kevin Doom, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said, according to The Chicago Sun-Times. 'Doing a lot of heavy breathing is probably not ideal on a day like today.' Forecasters said there's a chance an alert there would be extended into Friday, as temperatures across much of the eastern U.S. continue to spike ahead of a rainy weekend. Some of the haze also has to do with ozone pollution, which is linked to that heat. 'On hot and sunny days, especially in urban areas, heat and sunlight react chemically with pollutants in the air to form ground-level ozone, which can be very irritating to people with respiratory problems,' WNBC's Lauren Maroney warned. In the U.S., wildfires have burned in Minnesota, Florida, and the West. There have been more than 1.1 million acres torched to date across the country, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. There are more than 200 active wildfires raging in Canada, and more than 6.4 million acres have burned since the start of the year. Two new blazes were reported on Thursday, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. The deadly fires have resulted in the deaths of two people and forced tens of thousands of people to flee. Officials in Mantiboa and Saskatchewan have declared a state of emergency. Manitoba skies have turned a ruby red color. "I've never seen anything like it," Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said, according to CBC News. Climate change is helping to stoke the flames of wildfires around the world each year, bringing even hotter and drier conditions. As smoke continues to impact millions in the northern U.S., it is heading South. AccuWeather said it might collide with a 2,000-mile-wide plume of Saharan dust later this week. 'This appears to be the largest Saharan dust plume to reach America so far this year,' Lead Hurricane Expert Alex Dasilva said in a statement.

Mud, rain & lightning: CCMF bracing for Myrtle Beach weather. Here's what to expect
Carolina Country Music Festival (CCMF) fans preparing for a weekend out in their chicest shoes may want to reconsider. With rainy conditions expected through the weekend, the festival is preparing for muddy grounds. 'We're thinking it's more of a Crocs and flip flops weekend!' the City of Myrtle Beach wrote on Facebook. On Thursday afternoon, the city's Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism Department spread mulch to level festival grounds and soak up this weekend's rain. Beyond the preventative mulch, CCMF has a mixture of sand and gravel on hand to remedy muddy conditions throughout the weekend. While some rain might put a damper on some of the festival excitement, inclement weather could hold up the festivities. According to a city spokesperson, if lightning strikes within 8 miles of CCMF, the venue has to be cleared for 30 minutes. In addition to on-site announcements, attendees can stay up to date on announcements and weather alerts through the CCMF app. The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts the area will likely see showers and thunderstorms Thursday night. Mostly cloudy with a low around 71 degrees Fahrenheit, there's a 60% chance of precipitation. The CCMF grounds may be muddy Friday, but chances of precipitation are low. Festivalgoers can expect a high near 85 F and mostly cloudy skies as the sun gradually comes out through the day. At night temperatures could drop to around 74 F. Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high near 89, though there's a 40% chance of precipitation. If there are showers and thunderstorms, they'll likely come after 2 p.m. and continue through the night. Temperatures at night are expected around 74 F with a 50% chance of rain. Showers and thunderstorms will likely return on Sunday, mostly after 2 p.m. During the day the high will be around 87 F with a 70% chance of precipitation. At night the chance of precipitation falls to 60% with a low around 73 F. The latest NWS forecast is available here.

Should I crack my garage door to keep my home cool? How to stay cool as Texas heats up
A wave of extreme heat is building across Central Texas and South Texas, with temperatures expected to peak Saturday through Monday. According to the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio, many locations will see high temperatures ranging from the mid-90s to just over 100 degrees — and the heat index could make it feel even hotter. Cities like San Antonio, Del Rio and Eagle Pass are forecast to hit 100 or 101 degrees, while others such as Austin, Cuero and New Braunfels will hover just below triple digits. But the real story lies in the heat index — a measure of how hot it feels when humidity is factored in. By Sunday and Monday, heat index values are expected to reach near 110 degrees in several cities. As the heat intensifies, Texans face the balancing act of staying cool while conserving energy. With triple-digit temperatures expected, the temptation to crank up air conditioning is high, but it's important to be mindful of energy usage to avoid straining the state's power grid. One question that often comes up during these extreme heat waves is whether cracking your garage door can help keep things cooler — or if it just adds to the problem. Here's what experts say. Garages can be much warmer than the rest of homes due to poor insulation. But improving the insulation of an existing building might be impossible, especially for those renting homes. So, people have instead resorted to improving the circulation of air in the garage space. D Bar Garage Doors, a garage door company, affirmed some people's theories on the benefits of venting the garage space. "Cracking the door will indeed benefit and alleviate the heat that builds up. But having a well-maintained, properly insulated garage should be your top priority," D Bar Garage Doors experts said. Air circulation is not a replacement for properly insulating spaces to combat the extreme heat in the summer. Ventilating your garage this way can have other unintended safety consequences, like break-ins and critters.
