Cooler temperatures and a bit of rain are expected to deliver some relief for firefighters as they continue to battle wildfires that threaten communities in northern Alberta, but provincial officials warn the reprieve isn’t expected to last long and lightning is sparking additional blazes.
The province said in a wildfire update today that the forecast is favourable for the next few days, with trace amounts of rain and overcast conditions in some of the affected areas. “While there are some areas that could have experienced some precipitation other areas may not. The wildfires in the area are extremely hot and will burn deep into the ground. These fires can reignite again if conditions are right,” a provincial update on Sunday said about the Deep Creek Complex fires, which have threatened communities in Parkland and Yellowhead counties west of Edmonton.
