Mountain views might appear a little hazy across the region.
Although air quality was "currently good" across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, officials said in an AQ update Friday (Sept. 6) that some wildfire smoke from down south might move in by the weekend.
"Active wildfires to the south in Washington and Oregon are producing smoke," said the Metro Vancouver air quality update.
Air quality "updates" are issued by Metro Vancouver when there is the potential for "degraded regional air quality" in advance of or during an air quality advisory.
Hot and sunny is what the weather forecasters are calling for throughout the weekend, and air quality is expected to be "medium."
"Temperatures are forecast to be well-above seasonal levels."
It was light winds on Friday morning that blew smoke from the fires into the region, causing hazy conditions.
"Wildfire and smoke behaviour can change quickly, and Metro Vancouver staff are keeping an eye on conditions," officials said.
"Due to local emissions and weather conditions ground-level ozone (smog) may increase, but is not expected to reach air quality advisory levels."
