Special Statement

AIR QUALITY ADVISORIES in effect. See Idaho DEQ for current status. 

Fire

The Wapiti Fire is at 120,354 acres, the Middle Fork Complex is at 58,770 acres, and the Chimney Fire is 4,892 acres. A number of new and emerging lightning-caused fires are impacting the area. Tuesday will bring challenging fire weather conditions to all fires in Cental Idaho. Fuels are extremely dry, winds will be strong, and the atmosphere is unstable, all favoring large fire growth. See inciweb.wildfire.gov for updates on specific incidents. 

Smoke

Continued significant smoke production from large fires across Idaho and Oregon will impact the area. Smoke will be at UNHEALTHY levels in the mountains. The Snake Plain may reach UNHEALTHY at times. A cold pacific storm system will bring much improved air quality by Wednesday afternoon. View interactive smoke outlook.
