Between wildfire smoke and pollen, Michigan's air is not always the easiest to breathe in the spring and summer. That makes keeping the air in one's vehicle clean all the more important.

We’re probably going to be dealing with this for a while, much like we did the past couple of years,” said meteorologist Jim Keysor.

From the Keweenaw Peninsula to the Mackinac Bridge and areas across lower Michigan, blankets of haze from Canadian wildfires could be seen throughout the week.

Drivers traveling over Michigan's Mackinac Bridge on Wednesday may experience a haze. However, officials say it is not fog but smoke.
