Skies across Maryland are hazy right now due to smoke from Canadian wildfires - That smoke, coupled with high temperatures, will yield poor air quality the rest of this week

- The DC & Baltimore metro areas, and the Eastern Shore will experience poor air quality on Wednesday. Members of sensitive groups, children and adults with respiratory and heart ailments, may experience health effects and should limit time spent outside.

DYK running your clothes dryer could add up to $200 to your utility bill annually? Take advantage of these warm, sunny days and hang your clothes to dry. If you can't have a clothesline in your yard consider investing in a drying rack to put on your porch or even use it indoors.
