Wildfire smoke looks like it could be a bit of an issue for the next couple days.

We have Air Quality Health Index reading in the “Moderate Risk” range this morning and we’ll like stay in that range through today. There might be a bit of improvement Tuesday and then there’s really low confidence in the outlook for Wednesday and beyond.

The worst air quality in Alberta this morning is in the Peace Country where readings are in the “High Risk” range.

Temperatures hit the mid 20s through the weekend and we’ll see highs in the mid to upper 20s throughout this week.

Afternoon highs will range from 24 to 29 degrees - about 5 to 10 degree warmer than the seasonal average.

There’s not much for precipitation in the forecast EXCEPT for a slight chance late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.

An area of low pressure will move across northern Alberta Tuesday into Wednesday and there’ll be a weak cold front trailing that system that could produce a few scattered showers over and/or near the Edmonton area.

Regions further north will have a better chance at seeing some of the those scattered showers, especially NE AB Wednesday morning.

Outside of that, it’s a fairly uneventful forecast for the week.
