We expect good to moderate air quality this weekend around Western Washington this weekend. However, air quality could drop briefly to "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or worse this weekend due to the Bear Gulch fire. Keep in mind: the threat for wildfires will be high through the start of next workweek.
