(Davenport, IA) -- The heat is gone but the change in winds from south to north is bringing Canadian wildfire smoke back to the Midwest.

The Air Quality Index in eastern Iowa is listed as Unhealthy. Central Iowa shows as Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups. Most of southwestern Iowa shows as having moderate air quality.

The smoky conditions are expected to remain through Friday.
