Unhealthy Air Expected Over Coming Days

Forecasters are warning of unhealthy air in much of the Northwest as winds push smoke from surrounding wildfires into the region.  The National Weather Service has issued air quality alerts for much of Washington.  Air quality numbers started to increase Sunday, and aren’t expected to drop considerably until mid-week.  The service says smoke from fires in British Columbia is expected to drift into Washington and Idaho, causing unhealthy air levels through at least Tuesday.
