Meteorologist Peter Quinlan says the overall air quality is much better than Monday because the wind is now out of the -northwest, while yesterday it was straight out of the south.
There is a very dry air mass right now in the Saskatoon area and fires can spread at upwards of 26 metres per minute at these conditions.
