Had a rarity for these parts yesterday. A tornado watch. I don't believe there was a touchdown during the severe weather that rolled through late in the afternoon, but the NWS is checking on it. Up in the White Mountains and down in MA were especially hard hit I guess.

The neighbouring Prairie provinces have had their own wildfire struggles, but recent rain has brought some relief to the Slave Lake, Alta. area. On Monday, officials lifted fire permit suspensions in the area.

While the wildfire risk in the area is currently listed as low, the reprieve could be short-lived, with warm temperatures and sunshine expected for the remainder of the week.

Alberta is currently battling 27 wildfires. Since April 1, 2015, the province has witnessed 917 wildfires that have burned more than 90,184 hectares.

Dry conditions have contributed to an active wildfire season.

"The whole Prairie region has been dry over the last two months," Trevor Hadwen, an agroclimate specialist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, told The Weather Network earlier this month.

"Lack of snowfall this past winter and an early spring and warm conditions very early took away all the moisture that the snow would normally provide."

Saskatchewan has seen an uptick in fire activity this year as well.

The province has seen 380 wildfires to date. There are currently 26 active wildfires in the province.
