Do you mind giving your state? I'm on the east coast so I don't expect to have any problems like anyone in Idaho or on the West Coast.

Lots of east coast pictures in this Twitter thread showing dimmed sun this morning: https://twitter.com/growingwisdom/status/1305821237587910657

Even thought some smoke has reached the east coast for pretty much everything east of the Mississippi there is no change in air quality (yet?)

Most, if not all, of the smoke traveling that far will be up near the jet stream level of the atmosphere. It will impact your sunlight but will have little to no effect at ground level.

Philadelphia-area highs came in about 7°F under forecast today due to the high smoke from the West Coast.
