Hazy skies are rolling in Thursday and Friday as wildfire smoke from Central Canada blankets Maryland — turning skies orange and threatening air quality. A Code Orange alert is already in effect, urging sensitive groups to stay indoors, with a Code Red expected Friday as conditions worsen. Combine that with triple-digit heat and a soaring heat index, and you’ve got a dangerous double whammy. Storms may offer brief relief, but a stronger smoke wave arrives Friday night — so stay safe and cool. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
