Citing the smoke will clear out Tuesday morning, Mass stated the ability to predict wildfire smoke has become 'extraordinarily good' in recent years.
, or particulate matter 2.5, refers to tiny particles or droplets in the air that are 2.5 microns or less in width. The largest PMMass said the ability to predict the generation and movement of wildfire smoke has become “extraordinarily good” in recent years, alongside developing technology that helps predict the winds that can initiate and expand wildfires.
“We knew days ahead of time that this was going to happen,” Mass said. “It was no surprise. We have these smoke models now that are extraordinarily accurate. We knew that the winds were going to switch and some of the smoke in British Columbia was going to flood us. That’s what happened. And we have the models for the future. It looks like it’s going to get progressively better tonight, and will be radically better tomorrow. I think we’re in a substantially improving trend.
“The only thing we’re watching right now is Thursday,” Mass continued. “Thursday is going to warm up again. Not as hot as it’s been, but it will get into the lower 80s with maybe a little smoke, but nothing like what happened on Sunday.”
