Air quality alerts and advisories for smoke have been issued for Western Washington and parts of Eastern Washington, as smoke from wildfires continues to hang over the region.
In southwestern Washington, Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania and Wahkiakum counties are under an air quality advisory until 11 a.m. Monday. Pacific County on the coast is also under an advisory.
“All sensitive groups should limit spending any time outdoors. People with health conditions may have worsened symptoms. Healthy people may start to have symptoms,” according to the alert.Offshore wind will become much stronger on Saturday, making it breezy out of the east. The wind will be the strongest closer to the Cascade foothills and will push in much more smoke and haze over the area, which will help temperatures rise.
“The record for Sunday is 72 and I have us getting to 81, which will be the latest in the year 80 degree day we’ve had,” said Allard.
