After days of being in the high-risk category for air quality, some relief has finally come for Airdrie and the surrounding areas. 

Overnight rain and a change in wind patterns has helped clear most of the smoke and pushed Airdrie away from the high risk.

According to the Air Quality Health Index, Airdrie will be between 4 and 5 on the scale today which is moderate risk.

Some of the smoke from the B.C. Wildfires continues to linger in Airdrie with rain expected to come today and by the end of the week.
