[PortKells]

That ridge will probably trend east right over BC. More heat just around the corner.

How bad is the long range EPS?

Will this be thick enough smoke to effect temperatures on Friday? Regardless...

Holy fack. That might be worse than we've seen it in previous years.

A clear warm signal with tons of time for another 40 C Smoky death ridge to form.

34.0c here in east coquitlam. No outflow winds... yet.

The worst we've ever seen.

It may not verify. Let's all all hope it doesn't. I'd rather have the heat than historically horrible air quality.

Oh my god, 1797 in that one spot??!! That can't be right. Could that not be enough to cause smoke inhalation and death?

Forecast seems to be getting worse by the hour. It's certainly going to get worse. Last night looked pretty marginal for smoke and now...we are potentially looking at 3 days of this.

I think July 2015 was probably the worst we've seen in recent history (at least at ground level).

No, 3 days with a slight reprieve followed by however long the next ridge lasts. Welcome to the rest of summer.

Must be from a fire fairly close by. Harrison Lake?

I’d guess the fires in the canyon or the Coq. They look pretty active with smoke streaming right into the lower Fraser valley.

That gets entrenched. Does the trough Sunday into Monday even clear this gunk out?

It does lighten up ever so slightly at the end of the run, but these forecasts have been progressively getting worse, so that's a good point.
