Air quality forecast to improve significantly by this evening, showers expected tonight
Smoke from wildfires in northeastern B.C. and Alberta filled the air above Prince George early Wednesday and that haze, combined with cloudy conditions, made for a gloomy start to the day for morning commuters.The website FireSmoke.ca that tracks the spread of wildfire smoke and maps out forecast conditions indicates the smoke over Prince George was at its worst between 6 and 8 a.m., when the measurement of fine particulate matter was beyond 250 parts per million .
The fire danger is extreme at the Bednesti, Fort St. James, Vanderhoof and Mackenzie stations, while it’s considered high at Mackenzie and Hixon stations. Tuesday’s rain dropped the risk to moderate at McBride and Valemount.The closest major fire is the West Kiskatinaw River fire east of Tumbler Ridge, a lightning-caused fire that’s grown to 19,714 hectares.
