An air quality statement is in effect for Toronto and the surrounding region as wildfire smoke continues to drift south, Environment Canada says.

Widespread special air quality statements are in effect across much of Ontario and Quebec this weekend as thick plumes of wildfire smoke push into the region from the Prairies. Smoke and air quality issues will continue east into Quebec and portions of the Maritimes on Sunday.

THE LATEST FROM STORM TEAM 5… We are beginning our Sunday with areas of patchy dense fog that should burn off fairly quickly throughout the morning. That will lead to mainly sunny and comfy day with high temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s.
