Editor’s Note: This blog post was written by 7News meteorological intern Tyler Hughes.Today was a much-needed dry day across New England, but the lack of rainfall came with a different, yet familiar twist: wildfire smoke. Wildfires continue to burn in Alberta and Western Canada, and a dip in the jet stream has “trapped” a plume of wildfire smoke in between two frontal boundaries. This means we’ll continue to see a smoky haze in the sky tomorrow.In fact, an Air Quality Alert is in effect for Southern NH, Worcester County and points west until tomorrow at midnight for ground-level smoke that approaches unhealthy levels. The thickest plume of smoke should stay to the west of Metro Boston, but there will still be a noticeable haze in the air. The smoke will be pushed out tomorrow evening by an approaching cold front, which will also bring a chance of showers/storms with it. I don’t think any storms will become as severe as we saw Sunday (in part due to wild...Latest news
