(WXYZ) — The smoke from wildfires in Northern Ontario has moved its way into metro Detroit with a cold front that pushed it into the area.
Detroit has the worst air quality in the world on Thursday morning, and the smoke is expected to hang around for the next couple of days.
It's also forced the cancellation of many events and closures of different places throughout the area.
Check out the full list of closures & cancellations below.
- John Mellencamp at Pine Knob - Show is canceled and will not be rescheduled.
