Philadelphia school students will learn remotely on Friday due to ongoing poor air quality from the Canadian wildfires, school leaders announced.
Forecasters say that with weather systems expected to hardly budge, the smoky blanket billowing from wildfires in Quebec and Nova Scotia should persist into the weekend.
Across the eastern U.S., officials warned residents to stay inside and limit or avoid outdoor activities again Thursday, extending "Code Red" air quality alerts in some places for a third-straight day as forecasts showed winds continuing to push smoke-filled air south. In Philadelphia, health officials issued a code red Wednesday morning for unhealthy air across the city. That alert extended into Thursday and could stretch into the weekend.
"This alert means that the air is unhealthy to breathe, and some members of the general public may experience health effects," the Philadelphia Department of Public Health said.
Pay attention to their bodies; if they are having trouble breathing, feeling nauseous, or dizzy, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
