Today91裸聊视频檚 air quality is rated a 91裸聊视频渉igh health risk91裸聊视频� yet again, but some relief is on the way in the form of a cold-weather system.

91裸聊视频淭he problem with the smoke is that we are surrounded by fires, there is smoke in every direction,91裸聊视频� said meteorologist Doug Lundquist. 91裸聊视频淩ight now we are in an air mass that is just trapping that smoke 91裸聊视频� it is stuck underneath an inversion and it was not going anywhere.91裸聊视频�

But, as predicted earlier this week, a cold front in the forecast for the next 48 hours.

91裸聊视频淭he cold front is coming through that comes with the hope that maybe there will be a millimetre or two of rain to wet things down, rain itself clears the air out a little bit, plus we will get the flow of air coming from a different direction,91裸聊视频� said Lundquist.

The cold front is expected to move in tomorrow and bring a couple millimetres of rain throughout the Okanagan and Shuswap.

91裸聊视频淩ain is expected for Friday, Friday night and into Saturday. For the entire southwest interior region of the province,91裸聊视频� said Lunquist.

91裸聊视频淚n the Kelowna area we are looking at several millimetres of rain, maybe even 15 mm at Big White, but in the Salmon Arm area there is just one or two mm forecast. It will be quite variable.91裸聊视频�

While the rain is good news, this new system does also bring a chance of thunderstorms. However, Lundquist believes the risk is low.

As for whether this rain is enough to calm the fires, he said it all makes a difference.

91裸聊视频淓ven with cloud, a cold front and no rain, it cools us down enough that the humidity comes up and it definitely helps,91裸聊视频� said Lundquist.

Cooler weather is just a temporary reprieve, as temperatures are expected to climb back up early next week.

91裸聊视频淭he temperatures will pop back up in to the mid 20s.91裸聊视频� said Lundquist. 91裸聊视频淓very time we get a cold front this time of year, it never warms back up to as high as it was previously, which is good news. We are definitely not out of the woods yet.

91裸聊视频淓ven if the air clears up, there is a fire in every direction. If the plume comes our way, it will remain smoky, but I do think there will be a clearing in the next 48 hours.91裸聊视频�

Lundquist, like many of us, is fed up with the constant smoke and worried about the impact it is having on all of our health.

91裸聊视频淚t is a factor in human health, just the grayness affects us psychologically, you know. In a physiological sense, smoke is harmful to human health, especially those at risk, I think even healthy people are finding it difficult,91裸聊视频� said Lundquist.

91裸聊视频淚 am certain this grayness is not good for us mentally, there are many reasons it would be good to clean up the air.91裸聊视频�
