Residents across dozens of American cities are waking up to hazy, orange-tinted skies as wildfire smoke continues to drift across wide stretches of the United States.
The smoky conditions have triggered poor air quality alerts in multiple cities, raising health concerns for people who spend time outdoors. Officials are urging the public to stay inside as much as possible until conditions improve.
Relief may not come quickly — forecasters say the air quality situation is unlikely to get better until the weekend arrives.
