Be prepared to smell a bit of smoke today from forest fires in the western United States.
Trudy Kidd is with Environment Canada, and tells us the smoke is here, sitting high in the atmosphere now, but it could settle as the day wears on. “There’s a possibility you could smell the smoke, but in terms of air quality, it looks like Thunder Bay is going to experience a low risk day, so pretty clean air.”
Forest fires in Oregon, as well as bad air from Washington and Montana, could affect Thunder Bay.
Kidd adds we could see some of the smoke as it settles.
“I think we could probably see that this morning, then it’ll clear up this afternoon when a high pressure system builds in from the prairies today,” says the meteorologist.
