They say where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
They don’t really say where there’s rain, there may not be smoke, or that where there is not rain, there will be smoke, then probably also more rain.
Against all odds, this is the forecast in St. Albert this weekend.
Smoky conditions earlier in the week on Friday gave way to showers expected to continue through the afternoon, overnight and into the wee hours of Saturday morning.
At 3 a.m. the forecast shifts to “smoke,” with the temperature at 15 C and feeling about a degree colder.
The poor air quality is expected to continue for about 12 hours, when the forecast shifts back to calling for a 40 per cent chance of a shower at 3 p.m. and a risk of a thunderstorm between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., when the smoke is forecast to return anew.
Fret not, however, as the smoke is scheduled to be replaced by fog at midnight Sunday, which in turn should be burned off by the sun by 8 a.m. Partly cloudy conditions will persist most of the day into risks of thunderstorm or showers at 7 p.m., conditions that are expected to last until noon Monday.
