Smoke from California's deadly wildfires drifted east Monday and was visible in parts of New York and New Jersey, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration map.
Meteorologist Gary Szatowski -- the former head of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly -- tweeted a photo of NOAA HRRR-Smoke map.
The smoke is depicted in blue on the map and can be seen traveling from the West Coast up through southern-most parts of Arizona and New Mexico, up through Texas into Arkansas, Kentucky and into the Tri-State area.
NBC News and Today Show meteorologist Kathryn Prociv tweeted a photo of the hazy NYC sunset Monday.
“Wow. I knew tonight’s sunset over New York City seemed different, and I should’ve realized! Wildfire smoke is in the air, all the way from California,” she said.
More than 75 people were reported dead as of Tuesday in the fires.
