Montana is still getting wildfire smoke from western Canada, but the old Northwest Territory seems fairly clear of it for now. The sweep of haze this afternoon looks like it's over the Eastern Seaboard, though, and even part of the Gulf of Mexico as it's pushed out over the Atlantic.

Aaaaaand: the wildfire smokey haze is back! Looks like the smoke from the western wildfires is being funneled down toward the southeast, sending the AQI back into cautionary territory:

Eastern Montana has the worst smoke in the U.S. right now.

The haze over the middle countryside was all too evident as well:

Humidity might add some haziness to the scene, but it's mostly smoke. For further comparison:
