🔥CANADIAN WILDFIRE SMOKE RETURNS TO THE TRI-STATE THIS WEEK... 🌫️
A strengthening area of high pressure and a favorable jet stream pattern will pull wildfire smoke south into the Northeast by Thursday. Expect increasingly hazy skies, reduced air quality, and the smell of smoke to become noticeable—even across NYC.
Combined with the building heat and humidity, it'll make for a very uncomfortable end to the week.
I'll have the latest timing, air quality impacts, and heat this week at 7 AM on @PIX11News.

“The literature on adolescence marks middle school as a turning point, a time when kids begin to pull away from their parents, discard childish pursuits, and pursue, full thrust, the exhausting project of individuation,” Anna Wiener writes. “It is a period of intense, hormonally driven emotional flux. Self-consciousness sets in. The adult world is studied and emulated in a manner that suggests praxis but no theory. There is an aspect of camp to it all: a kind of LARP or drag, as young people transition from play-acting adulthood to inhabiting it. Actual adults are ancillary. Tweens and teens look to each other for clarity and guidance on how to behave and how to feel, all the while gambling with each other’s social confidence and self-esteem. It is natural, and it is psychotic.” Wiener writes about what this threshold is like for Gen Alpha, spending time with Mira, a sixth grader growing up in San Francisco: https://t.co/8evdhrRyw8
