Another smoky day with poor air quality, but relief will be here soon

Waking up to another hazy, smoky sky Friday with very poor air quality.

Waking up to another hazy, smoky sky Friday with very poor air quality. However, CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison says we are expecting improvement! “Now the winds this morning will be light and variable.

Expect smoky, hazy conditions through the morning and early afternoon,” said Atchison. “We should see some clearing as we push towards sunset and the winds will be shifting ... That will get us out of the funnel of smoke.”

Atchison this is in advance of our next weather system that brings the opportunity for some rainfall as we head into Friday night. “Late Friday, early Saturday morning, we could see some rain, but the good news is the winds will shift tonight and as we head into Saturday,” she added. Rainy conditions linger Saturday, but we can expect a clear and comfortable Sunday.
