Edmonton and its surrounding areas can expect to see lingering smoke for the next few days, according to meteorologist Josh Classen’s forecast.
The air quality in the region has been affected by smoke from wildfires in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. This has resulted in hazy skies and poor air quality for the past few days.
Classen predicts that the smoke will continue to linger due to a lack of strong winds to push it out of the area. However, there is a chance of some improvement in air quality as a cold front moves in on Thursday.
In the meantime, Classen advises residents to limit their time outdoors, especially for those with respiratory issues. He also suggests keeping windows and doors closed to prevent the smoke from entering homes and buildings.
The air quality index for Edmonton and surrounding areas is currently at a moderate level, but it is expected to fluctuate over the next few days depending on wind patterns.
Classen also reminds residents to stay informed about air quality updates and to take necessary precautions to protect their health.
As for the rest of the weather, Classen predicts a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures reaching the mid-20s for the next few days. There is a chance of some isolated showers on Friday, but overall, the weather is expected to remain dry.
In conclusion, Edmonton and its surrounding areas can expect to see lingering smoke for the next few days, but there is hope for some improvement in air quality as a cold front moves in. Stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect your health.
