Here's your wildfire risk forecast for Saturday, June 10, 2023 🔥🌲 After some scattered showers today in Central and Eastern Ontario and into the GTA, dry conditions will continue tomorrow, elevating most of the area from low to moderate risk. The high risk is expected again for Parry Sound and into Southwestern Ontario, but the extreme risk region has expanded as a result of the continued lack of moisture and temperatures in the mid to upper 20s. There is widespread rainfall expected to move into Southern Ontario beginning Sunday, which will decrease the overall wildfire risk across the region.

#ONStorm #ONwx ⚠️ Air Quality Update for Southern Ontario VALID: 12 PM - June 7, 2023 Much of Eastern Ontario woke up to extremely poor air quality this morning with the AQI ranging from 300-500 in locations including Petawawa, Ottawa and Belleville. It appears that the air quality has marginally improved to put them in the unhealthy category, but Kingston still remains in the 'hazardous' category with an AQI of 312! We are also seeing the air quality continue to deteriorate across the GTA and into Central Ontario with lots of locations reporting a very high AQI ranging from 150 to 200. This is expected to continue to be the case over the next few hours as that plume of smoke over Eastern Ontario moves southward. Unfortunately, this is only a taste of what's to come as we are expecting even worse conditions tomorrow. More details on that later today! PLEASE, stay inside and limit your exposure outside as much as possible. You should only be outside for critical reasons and for short periods. Yes, I'm looking at some of the schools that have irresponsibly decided it's still okay to let children go out for recess. 🙄 It's just not worth the risk - please stay inside! We'll continue to follow the latest information and will provide updates as needed. - Brennen
