No major changes in the wildfire risk are expected for the Prairies today. The area of low risk in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan is beginning to shrink and we’re seeing a subsequent expansion of high risk with overall limited precipitation needed to keep the risk low. There’s also a slight expansion to the moderate and high risk area in Northwestern Alberta that is once again being driven by strong winds.
