MORNING BRIEFING: Tributes continue to pour in overnight for the three US firefighters who died after their Large Air Tanker crashed in southern NSW, and poor air quality forecast for Sydney

It comes after extensive dust storms across parts of the state yesterday that impacted parts of Sydney.

"We had a southerly move through Sydney overnight and the Central Coast area and what that did is bring some of that smoke haze back from those fires in southern New South Wales," she said.The NSW Government and the state's rural fire chief will meet US and Canadian firefighters this morning before the international crews travel home.

RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons and Emergency Services Minister David Elliott will meet crews at their Wolli Creek hotel before their departure.
