7Shoutout to viewers Siemens69 for notifying me about this situation.

The air quality in the city is expected to continue to degrade into Thursday.
Meteorologist Jeff Smith said the near-surface smoke forecast shows the smoke is expected to wrap around the system Wednesday, circulating around the northeast of the U.S., but leaving the New York City metro area in a sort of "donut hole" with mostly clear air.
On Thursday as the system pushes towards the ocean, some of the near-surface smoke is expected to get into western New York.
The air quality will begin to degrade and may reach levels which will be unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Wind coming in from the northwest could mean the air quality could continue to worsen into later Thursday and early Friday.
