Cincinnati weather: Track latest smoke data, red flag warnings as wildfire smoke hits area

Smoke from wildfires in Canada continues to cause poor air quality, haze and low visibility in the Ohio Valley Region.

On Tuesday, the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency issued an air quality alert until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday night due to ozone and PM2.5, or fine particulate matter, levels reaching the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" range on the air quality index.

According to a hazardous weather outlook from the National Weather Service in Wilmington, smoke and fog have also reduced visibility throughout Greater Cincinnati.
