The Canadian and NOAA 6Z BC model both show mostly good PM2.5 over the next few days, a decrease compared to recent values. Both models show Saturday as having the most moderate PM2.5. The Canadian smoke model shows scattered smoke impacts in the region on Saturday while the NOAA smoke model shows no impacts over the next few days. With rain moving through the region today and precipitation chances again later in the period, and given the relatively high wind speeds, moderate PM2.5 buildup will become less likely over the next few days. The greatest chance for moderate PM2.5 buildup is on Saturday, as winds slow down and become varied.
