An advisory has been in effect since August 1 due to wildfires raging in B.C.'s Interior. A cold front is also on its way which should help tamp down particulates in the air.
The haze may have gone, but the clouds have now moved in and...........it's raining!!!! Actually it's more of a drizzle but it definitely will clear the air and give us all some relief.....
The wind shifted for you, but socked in here. Being muh closer to the fires, the skies darkened and it rained ash yesterday around the Prince George area. Skies were so dark and brownish-red some fallers planning to work thru the weekend on a job here gave up at 4:30 pm and went home due to safety concerns! I tried to convince people that the boiling skies and ash were from the Persied meteor shower, the rest of the world was destroyed and only the NSA and Hillary's email server were keeping the Internet up to prevent panic. But no one would believe it...
But it pissed rain late at night and it's clear blue skies here today.
THe rain washed the ash off the roof of my Wrangler, there was about 1 cm of white mud on the running boards when I went to go out. That's a LOT of ash yesterday!
