The good news is that the smoke is expected to stay high in the astrosphere which means it shouldn't have a major impact on the air quality across the state. There will be a hazy in the air due to the smoke.

The air quality across New York should remain in the fair range but it could drop into the moderate range which means people who are sensitive to allergens or have respiratory issues should limit their time outdoors.
