Extreme wildfire risk has made its return to Northern Ontario along with high temperatures in the upper 20s and low 30s expected tomorrow. Northwestern Ontario has seen more moisture than Northeastern Ontario, resulting in mostly low and moderate risk with a patch of high risk to the west while in the east, there is high and extreme risk. In particular, Fort Albany and Moosonee are under extreme risk for tomorrow. The heat is only expected to last for two days and it will be followed by cooler, moist air and light rain, which should mitigate the extreme wildfire risk later in the week.
