Seattle, Portland have world's worst air quality again Thursday. When is rain expected?
SEATTLE — Seattle and Portland began Thursday with the worst air quality in the world among major cities, according to iqair.com.
The smoke is coming from stubborn wildfires burning right now all the way from Oregon up to British Columbia. Vancouver, BC, has the 10th-worst air quality in the world as of 6 a.m.
Much-needed rain should start in some western Washington locations by Friday, helping bring the air quality back to healthy levels.
Because of the poor air quality, burn bans are in effect for several Washington state counties, meaning outdoor burning is off limits.

not enough to say it "rained" but some sprinkles. I can think of about 5 or 10 names for different types of rain. It's a Western Washington thing.
