It may only be the middle of May, but wildfire season is already impacting the Seattle region with smoke from Canada. Smoke from those wildfires has now drifted south and arrived in western Washington, creating hazy skies.
Wildfires have been burning in northern Alberta for over a week. Smoke from those wildfires has now drifted south and arrived in western Washington, creating hazy skies.The smoke is above 10,000 feet and not in the lower levels, so there are no worries about declining air quality.
The hazy sunshine will likely continue for the next few days before a subtle weather pattern changes aloft and moves the smoke inland.The threat of isolated thunderstorms is expected to remain over the Cascades again late Wednesday. The current early season warm spell has been record-breaking. Sea-Tac Airport measured four consecutive days with record high temperatures. Friday, May 12, was 82 degrees, Saturday 86 degrees, Sunday 89 degrees, and Monday 88 degrees.
