Wildfires impact Florida air quality

Dozens of wildfires erupted across Florida on Thursday and dry and windy conditions increased the fire danger. The smoke also led to a vivid sunset in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Lower air quality is a concern into the weekend.

The WindRadar showed breezy conditions across Florida on Thursday. These gusts and already dry conditions helped spark dozens of wildfires across the state.

The WeatherRadar shows rain and storms in the Florida Panhandle this weekend, which will help with wildfires in the state's northern half.

However, rain will stay away from much of South Florida, meaning lower air quality will stick around through Sunday for many communities.
