This morning I was sitting at my desk when I noticed the room had become oddly dark, and orange. I peeked out the window and saw that the sky was smudged and the sun was an alien red that meant something more than the typical smog was at work.
Right now you can see the source of the dark cloud, a fire in the Cleveland National Forest, through the Mt. Wilson Observatory webcam.

this explains it, as well as that big nasty dark cloud.
