Environment Canada says conditions will remain for 48 to 72 hours but Calgary could see improvement Thursday
If things seem a little hazy right now in Calgary and southern Alberta, it's not your imagination.
Environment Canada says wildfires burning in Montana, Idaho and even as far away as California have created a haze that is covering southeast British Columbia, most of southern Alberta and southern parts of Saskatchewan Wednesday afternoon.
Brian Proctor, a meteorologist with the agency, says while air quality will likely be affected for the next 48 to 72 hours, Calgary could see a slight improvement by midday Thursday.
