The wildfire hazard is HIGH for tomorrow for the Lac La Biche forest area.
The forecast is for a high of 27 degrees with humidity of 35% and light winds at W10 km/hr. There is a low chance of overnight precipitation. Fortunately there is little chance of lightning over the next couple of days.
We didn't have any new wildfires today. We have had 51 wildfires so far this season.
We have 10 crews, 3 helicopters and the air tankers on hand to action any new wildfires tomorrow.
Several areas in the province have fire advisories and fire restrictions in place. Check albertafirebans.ca to see if there are any conditions in effect for places you might be travelling to this weekend. Southern Alberta in particular has increased levels of wildfire danger.
