Smoke and haze over Downtown Orlando and surroundings

If you are anywhere between Titusville and Orlando, east to west, you might be smelling smoke and observing hazy skies.

The Rivers Edge Fire, located near Merritt Island/Titusville, has been burning since Monday.
On Tuesday, authorities had to perform another prescribed burn to put the fire out.

Our team of meteorologists noticed how the smoke moved over Downtown Orlando through our live tower cam. Also, there was a clear smoke signature which headed west from the fire to Orlando.
