It's a question we've heard a number of times Wednesday morning, "Is that fog or smoke in the air this morning?"
We checked with CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner for the answer.
"What we're seeing this morning across parts of the Pembina and Red River Valleys is fog," he explained. "The airmass over the region early this morning was fairly cool, but also moisture rich. Combined, as we saw the atmosphere become saturated, and the dew point was reached. That's the temperature which water vapour will condense into visible fog, mist and water droplets."
According to Sumner, the fog will burn off this morning as temperatures warm alongside the sun now above the horizon.
As for wildfire smoke, he noted that will be noticeable again Wednesday with hazy conditions expected throughout much of Southern Manitoba.
