The Triangle is under a Code Orange air quality alert, thanks to smoke particles from wildfires in Canada. What’s the situation, will it get worse, and when might it clear up? Aaron chats with National Weather Service meteorologist Jonathan Blaes, who says it could get worse on Thursday night and Friday morning before clearing up this weekend – though we won’t be fully in the clear until those wildfires have abated.
