Smoke is in our skies Monday. (from Capital Weather Gang.)
It's less sunny that it would have been today because smoke from the western wildfires has come in overhead.
The National Weather Service confirms: "There is a hazy appearance to the sky this afternoon. This is a result of smoke lofted from wildfires out west being caught in the jet stream and moving overhead at about 20,000 to 25,000 ft."
