Apparently our current low pressure area is acting like a funnel, sucking the smoke from the wildfires to the south.

The particles contained in the toxic smoke can enter your lungs and stay there. Masks can not filter out particles of this tiny size. A ring of these same particles strung together like beads could circle a human hair like a tiny pearl necklace.

They are asking people in the worst affected areas to stay inside. They are saying that people with asthma might be severely affected, and in New York, they are expecting a lot of hospitalizations of asthma patients.
