LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Waking up this morning, you probably noticed the hazy and smoky skies. Wildfire smoke will remain in the forecast today and is likely to continue throughout the week.
Most, if not all, of the state is under an Air Quality Advisory for wildfire smoke moving in from Canada. This will continue for the day today and possibly get extended into the day on Monday.
