Smoke 
Smoke from Canada wildfires that moved into the area yesterday is expected to linger for a day or two. This extra smoke in the area will decrease air quality. Local fires will produce widely scattered, light, smoke. Heat scorched leaves and pine needles have fallen and covered much of the burned areas. Reburn has been occurring within the fire perimeters when fallen leaves are ignited by smoldering fuels. This causes increased levels of smoke for short periods in the immediate vicinity of the reburn. None of the communities in the area should be impacted by smoke from local fires, even if reburn occurs. Communities should experience MODERATE air quality today with periods of GOOD. The Canada wildfire smoke is the main reason for this decrease in air quality from the GOOD we have had since rains last week.

Health and Safety 
Smoke contains microscopic solids and liquid droplets that can cause serious health problems. Of these, particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, also known as PM2.5, pose the greatest risk to health. This Smoke Outlook reflects 24-hour PM2.5 impacts on air quality.
