258 AM EDT Thu Jul 16 2026 SYNOPSIS... Smoke from active wildfires across south-central Canada is expected to impact our region through at least tonight, and may linger into Friday. A west-northwest flow aloft will continue to support a considerable amount of smoke from Canadian wildfires across the eastern Great Lakes region through tonight, possibly lingering across the region Friday. Hazy skies are expected with reduced visibility at times due to the smoke. Surface high pressure will move across the Great Lakes region through Friday. This will maintain dry weather across the forecast area. The HRRR model and RRFS show vertically integrated smoke decreasing across north-central NY tonight indicating improving conditions. Smoke may move back into the area Friday. Area Forecast Discussion
