The US National Weather Service Spokane shared this satellite image showing active U.S. wildfires.
Driven by mid-to-upper level winds, this massive smoke highway is tracking straight north, blanketing eastern Washington and northern Idaho before invading southern British Columbia.

It’s VERY smoky in Osoyoos, BC right now, with smoke from the Kaiser Canyon fire blowing up from Washington State. If you won’t manage your forests to prevent these fires there’s no telling what we’ll do. *see how stupid that sounds?
Hi America. You have more wildfires than we do up here in Canada atm. Also, one of our firefighter pilots died a few days ago helping fight your fires, and you thank us by threatening tariffs due to our fires and wind direction…
