NWS Heat Advisory: Heat advisory remains in effect from noon Friday to 9 PM MDT Saturday 

Fire
There are multiple fires affecting the forecast area, including smoke transport from SW Oregon and 
N California. For more information on Limepoint-Cliff Mountain wildfire incidents, please visit

Smoke
The high pressure system that has settled over the northwest will remain in place until midweek 
next. As a result, temperatures will remain high with increased drying lending to greater chances 
of increased fire activity, hence smoke increases. Offsetting this possible increased smoke 
production is an unstable atmosphere allowing for latent smoke near the ground to lift into the 
upper atmosphere, moving smoke out of this region via upper level transport winds. All communities 
in this Smoke Outlook should experience MODERATE conditions throughout the day with possible USG. 
Garden Valley and Idaho City may see a spike in smoke activity around noon, while McCall and 
Grangeville could experience higher smoke production in the late afternoon and early evening due to 
smoke from local fires.
