HUDSON VALLEY, NY — As the lower and mid Hudson Valley brace for a wet weekend, New York officials are warning that smoke from Canadian wildfires is affecting air quality in much of the state.
Air Quality Index levels are expected to reach ‘unhealthy for sensitive groups' and an air quality health advisory for Fine Particulate Matter was issued until midnight Friday for the Upper Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks, environmental department officials said.
"New Yorkers need to be alert today as wildfire smoke starts to impact certain regions of the State," Gov. Kathy Hochul said. "I encourage vulnerable New Yorkers to pay attention to the State’s Air Quality Health Advisories and take necessary precautions to stay safe."
