Below is the smoke forecast for Sunday at noon MDT June 2, produced by the Canadian government. Unfortunately it does not include the entire U.S.

  1. I’m souring, no word, no comment here in europe about these wildfires around Canada’s Alberta province!
    we in Europe build these cars, you in USA and China dont reduce CO2, and that’s leading to the end of species, which need moderate climate to survive.
    that’ s it.
    I’m 62 years old , but what about our next generations…?

  2. Wondering why we haven’t heard about the wildfire smoke here in SE MN and Lacrosse, Wi TV only can tell us about the nice clear skies and warmer weather in the past few days. The sky’s are very hazy and the smell of smoke has been prevalent for at least 4-5 days. Come on, all you TV people look out the window.
    Your neighbors with respitory health problems have been suffering tremendously and not knowing why. Very unprofessional, get your heads out of the sand. There’s more to life then racing around a circle.
