Environment Canada warns of rapidly deteriorating air quality today as a cold front moves through the province this morning bringing smoke from wildfires in the west. Conditions will swiftly deteriorate behind the front bringing very poor air quality and reduced visibility. The smoke is expected to move into the Red River Valley this afternoon, however air quality and visibility due to wildfire smoke can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour. Conditions should improve across the entirety of southern Manitoba by Thursday morning as the plume of smoke exits the province and heads into the United States. People with lung disease (such as asthma) or heart disease, older adults, children, pregnant people, and people who work outdoors are at higher risk of experiencing health effects caused by wildfire smoke.
