Smoke continues to linger across parts of the United States as wildfires burn in Canada. RFD-TV Washington Bureau reporter and photographer Leo Brito captured these hazy images at our nation’s capitol.
From the Beltway to the Corn Belt, a high pressure system is lingering and keeping much-needed rain at bay. Our weather team says rain could hit the western and southern Corn Belt by the weekend.
The USDA Forest Service shared these photos on Twitter:
