The wildfires in the Great Dismal Swamp and Tyrrell and Hyde Counties will likely burn for several days. Smoke plumes from both fires have shifted to the north, bringing the smoke across Hampton Roads, reducing visibilities and giving the area a Code Orange air quality. Across North Carolina, the air quality is worse, resulting in a Code Purple.

Indications are the winds will shift to the west and north on Sunday, pushing the smoke plume back into North Carolina. However, winds will switch back to the southwest on Monday, bringing the areas of smoke back into Virginia.
