  13. 'Dangerous' air quality in Detroit, Minneapolis as thick wildfire smoke shrouds the sky for millions

    Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach "dangerous" levels across Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States. And it could get worse before conditions improve.

    By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist

    Published Jul 15, 2026 11:50 AM EDT | Updated Jul 16, 2026

    " Massive plumes of smoke are descending across parts of Canada and the United States, creating dangerous air quality and scenes reminiscent of the historic wildfire smoke outbreak from three summers ago.

    " 'In 2023, a major fire outbreak in Quebec caused days of unhealthy air quality in the northeastern U.S.,' AccuWeather Vice President of Forecast Operations Dan DePodwin said. 'This event could cause similar levels of poor air quality in spots.'

    "Air quality alerts have been issued for millions of people, including across all of #Connecticut, #Delaware, #Massachusetts, #Michigan, #NewHampshire, #NewJersey, #NewYork, #Ohio, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland and #Wisconsin.

    "Over 800 wildfires are currently burning across Canada, including dozens that are out of control across western #Ontario, the source of most of the smoke. 'Many of these fires may have been started by lightning,' AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.

    "On Wednesday, #Toronto had some of the worst air quality in North America, reaching 'very unhealthy' levels with an AQI of 220. #BostonMA was not far behind with an unhealthy AQI of 147.

    " 'When the AQI climbs into the 150+ range for a full day outside, that’s in the ballpark of [smoking] 7 to 9 cigarettes,' Dr. Jonathan M. Tan, division chief of General Anesthesiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told AccuWeather.

    "Conditions deteriorated by Thursday morning, with widespread "dangerous" air quality across nearly all the Great Lakes region and into parts of the Northeast. Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota, as well as Detroit, were among the worst cities at daybreak Thursday, with AQIs over 340.

    " 'Any exposure to the air, even for a few minutes, can lead to serious health effects on everybody,' Plume Labs said.
    Avoid outdoor activities.' "

  15. FIBER FRIDAY
    Over time, the zip ties that secure aerial fiber loops can wear down. When that happens, slack loops may sag into sidewalks or roadways—creating a safety risk for pedestrians, vehicles, and the fiber itself.

    Our team is constantly out in the field spotting these issues early and coordinating repairs before they become a problem. It’s one of the many behind-the-scenes ways we keep the network safe, reliable, and ready to perform. 🧰🌐
