Wildfire smoke...

The heavy smoke in North America is reaching upper altitudes.  Is the weather engine depicting this?  Has anybody noticed anything?

We are in NJ and my wife and I were just speaking about the orangish haze lingering today.  Crazy.  Hope everyone stays safe

Haven't noticed in the sim.  I'm in MN and I'm tired of tht smoke and haze....my allergies and asthma are a factor.

Looking really smoggy here in Northern Virginia too. Wifey also mentioned it and said its like being back home in SoCal.

I flew in southern Ontario last night and the METARs showed reduced visibility in the area (5-6nm) but I could see much further than that in the sim.

I suppose the sim might just depict it as lower visibility.

Dust from the Sahara is also blowing across the southeast USA right now.  You might be seeing some of that.
