The haze and smoke from wildfires which has partially blocked the sun for the past few days on parts of Newfoundland has been pushed south of the island.

It will still be present in many parts of Labrador for the next couple of days but skies on the island will be mainly clear right through the weekend.

That’s just in time for many to enjoy tonight’s full Harvest Moon, which is the final super moon of 2023.

Erika Ranger, meteorologist with Environment Canada in Gander, doesn’t expect that smoke to blow back this way in the immediate future.

A high pressure system over Quebec is spinning that smoke around so as it looks now, that smoke may stay away from us, she says.
