Massachusetts, Wildfire and smoke
Digest more
It's rained in Boston for 12 Saturdays in a row. WBZ-TV meteorologists Jacob Wycoff and Terry Eliasen take a look at the forecast for this weekend and discuss the Canadian wildfire smoke affecting air quality in Massachusetts.
The air quality in Boston over the last few days hasn't been great, and you may have noticed a foul smell or slight haze in the air.
“Most of the time, the smoke will be high-flying and dim the sun, leading to vivid sunrises and sunsets and causing a hazy appearance to the sky overhead,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.
"First 90-degree temperature of the season is on the way today. We have not been there in Boston, officially, since Aug. 28, 2024, so it's been a while," StormTeam 5 chief meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon said.
