Smoke 
Local smoke continues near fires and on roads adjacent to them. If there is active fire behavior or new starts, there could be high levels of smoke for short durations near fires. There is a chance for thunderstorms with gusty and erratic winds that could move smoke in any direction. Smoke from the Tiger Island Fire will be most apparent in the Merryville and Junction areas. Smoke from the Elizabeth and Hwy. 113 fires will be most noticeable in the Cora area and Hwy. 113 between the two fires. There was very little smoke from the Lions Camp Rd Fire yesterday. Light smoke may occur today on roads within the fire perimeter. All four fires are projected to produce low levels of smoke. All smoke monitors, except Lake Charles, should see less smoke today. These locations will have GOOD levels with periods of MODERATE. Lake Charles should expect smoke from fires SE and SW of town. Expect mostly MODERATE, with periods of GOOD.
