Seattle shattered weather records again over the weekend with a high of 88 on Sunday. But even if you enjoy the sun, it’s hard to have fun when the air is full of wildfire smoke and ash.

There are now three major wildfires burning on the West side of the Cascades, and they'll likely be with us until the rain returns. The Seattle Weather Blog's Justin Shaw is here to help us wrap our heads around this dramatic combination of smoke and weather.
