This is what to expect for air quality as wildfire smoke drifts over Whatcom County

Hazy skies will continue for the next several days as smoke from wildfires burning across the West drifts over Western Washington.

That smoke will bring unearthly sunrises and sunsets, but at least for now, it’s staying in the upper atmosphere and not affecting air quality near the ground, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service in Seattle.
