RED BANK: CANADA WILDFIRE SMOKE RETURNS

Smoke from forest fires raging in Canada affected the Greater Red Bank Green for the second time in a month, laying a haze over the Navesink River early Friday morning.

The smoke, which has traveled as far as Europe, is expected to be less intense than the local smothering of June 7, but air quality still “may approach or exceed unhealthy standards,” according to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Combined with high temperatures, that could make for especially uncomfortable conditions outdoors.

Here’s the weather forecast for the weekend and beyond from the National Weather Service. (Reader photo. Click to enlarge.)
