BELLINGHAM, Wash. – We are looking to have some fresh air this week up in Bellingham after a weekend of cloudy, smoky skies and high fire threats.
Fox 13 reports that the smoke will be pushed back over the Cascades and into eastern Washington by winds coming from the Pacific Ocean.
With temperatures ranging from the low 60s to the low 70s this week, the western winds will also be keeping it cooler than it has been.
If ash from the weekend’s wildfires fell on your car you should take care when cleaning it off.
Triple A says wiping or simply rinsing ash off a car can damage its paint.
The best option is to clean the car with warm soapy water and rinse it completely.
Don’t leave ash on your vehicle as it is abrasive and can scratch the car’s finish.
