We'll have some less smoky summers, but get used to smokier MN summer trend until we reduce GHG emissions.
Canada has 1.2 BILLION ACRES of boreal forests.
Hotter drier climate sucks more moisture from dry fuels.
Unfortunately this is the tip of the iceberg for smoke potential.

Watched pot where T-Storms will fire this afternoon.
Lead cloud wave now in W MN? Or in Dakotas later?
Tons of instability/severe risk.
Where/when development occurs determines timing and coverage for tonight!
Best chance SW MN, but MSP risk 7 p.m. to midnight?
Stay tuned.
