Smoke Update 3/31/25 03-31-2025

Big Ridge Fire
Publication Type: News - 03/31/2025 - 08:07

Sky Valley
GOOD to MODERATE air expected due to wind shifts and rain. Visibility impacts possible due to the area's high elevation.

SMOKE
Decreased fire activity will likely reduce smoke production, but winds may bring smoke to the area from fires that receive less rainfall. Much of the forecast area will have air quality that is MODERATE to GOOD. Catawba Nation will likely have GOOD air quality. More smoke may arrive Tuesday from a potential increase in fire activity.


SPECIAL STATEMENT
Stay informed of evacuation orders, air quality alerts, fire danger information, and other public safety advisories in your area. Due to erratic winds from incoming thunderstorms and large number of fires in the area, smoke impacts have the potential to change quickly.


HEALTH STATEMENT
Smoke can be harmful to your health. Check with your doctor if there are any health concerns and monitor your local air quality conditions using the Fire and Smoke Map.
