Smoke 
Smoke trends today off the five major regional fire influences in the Outlook area (Town Gulch, OR; Limepoint, ID; Paddock, ID; Western Complex, ID; Snag, ID) will see general movement of smoke from the N until mid-afternoon, then from the W-SW for the remainder of the day before settling in a southerly direction through the night and into Sunday. Smoke from the Snag Fire will continue to bother communities S of this incident for most of the day before winds shif to the west. The Paddock Fire continues to grow, negatively influencing air quality in Emmett, Boise, Idaho City, and Garden City. Early morning AQI in these communities should be better than previous mornings, starting in MODERATE rather than UNH or VUNH. The Town Gulch fire SW of Halfway, OR continues to heavily impair AQI for that community and to a lesser extent communities following the ID-95 corridor south. Expect better AQI today in communities north of Limepoint Fire.
