Air quality alerts are now in place for 10 states from Minnesota to Connecticut and, on Tuesday afternoon, Boston is expected to see a nice break from the smoke thanks to onshore winds keeping smoke inland as Detroit and New York City may catch more of a break due to winds from the east as well.

Air quality alerts are in effect in the Philadelphia area, fueled by smoke from wildfires that are burning thousands of miles away.

Continuing smoke from the Canadian wildfires is causing the north country to be under an Air Quality Alert for the third consecutive day.
