Smoke
The high pressure system continues to dominate resulting in hotter and drier weather conditions with light surface and upper level winds out of the SW. Today's conditions should be similar to yesterday's with MODERATE across the Smoke Outlook region for most of the day. Transport smoke from Oregon and California fires should remain aloft, resulting in hazy conditions. Smoke from the Limepoint-Cliff Mountain fires will be terrain-driven early flowing SW downslope through the Snake River corridor then shifting toward the NE, pushed by the SW winds. An expected late afternoon evening shift of winds from the NE may move smoke from the Limepoint-Cliff Mountain fires towards the US 95 corridor possibly impacting Council, Weiser, and Ontario.
