Heat warnings spread, forest fire haze lingers in Alberta
Wildfire smoke will spread over much of Alberta on Wednesday, leading to pockets of haze and decreased air quality.
The smoke should remain aloft, thus air quality won't be significantly affected at the surface, however those with heart and lung conditions may be at a moderate risk in the days ahead.
