Massachusetts could see hazy skies throughout the day Monday as wildfire smoke from Canada drifts into the Bay State. The smoke prompted National Weather Service forecasters to issue an Air Quality Alert blanketing the entire state, warning that the air may be unhealthy for sensitive groups.

The smoky air is predicted to reach New York City on Monday, and it could bring unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups.

The smoke is expected to remain over the northern and central Plains of the United States for the next couple of days, according to meteorologists.
