PRINCE GEORGE — Wildfire smoke from fires in the western United States may hit Prince George this weekend.

Environment Canada says smoke impacts have already been observed in some areas of Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and portions of the Interior.

It says smoke forecast models indicate the potential for a significant push of smoke into BC throughout the weekend.

“The anticipated smoke trajectory indicates that the areas impacted will grow to the north and east as the weekend progresses with the most widespread impacts expected on Sunday. Areas at higher latitudes, such as Prince George, may have smoke passing through the region aloft.”
