"Smoke drifting west from a slowly spreading wildfire in eastern North Carolina has led state regulators to upgrade their warning against outdoor activity in the Triangle.
The state Division of Air Quality issued a Code Red warning for the region and for Rocky Mount Thursday afternoon that is expected to remain in effect through Friday.
WRAL meteorologist Chris Thompson said light winds overnight will allow the smoke to sit over the Triangle overnight, so the effects of the smoke will be worse Friday morning. Winds form the southeast could help move the smoke out of the area later in the day, he said."
Yep, it is definitely smokey out there! Here's a photo looking up to Mom and Dad's house from mine:
