If you haven’t heard, there are some sizeable fires right now in the Northwest Territories. These fires haven’t really had any northerly winds. Until tonight.
As a strong low moves east over the Northwest Territories this evening it will, of course start sending some of the smoke down in the direction of us. In Alberta for tonight and tomorrow, most forecasts think we’ll have westerly winds. However, there is a chance that a trough is created going south of the low, meaning MAYBE the winds could be more northerly. If this is the case, then the smoke might actually reach us.
If you’re wondering what the forecasts say, then:
- Environment Canada: Nope.
- AQICN: Nope.
- Accuweather: A bit might get us, but not too much.
- Firesmoke.ca: A dense but short blast of smoke.
