CALGARY -- We’re finally falling beneath our high-pressure ridge, but there comes with that a caveat; we’re facing some U.S. wildfire smoke potential today!

The first image is from 6 p.m. yesterday to 6 p.m. today, and the second image shows 6 p.m. today until 6 p.m. tomorrow. While the smoke above us could be hazy at times, its surface impacts are largely minimal through the province, as the majority of smoke will be aloft.
