Great Lakes Fire Smoke Outlook, April 30, 2023
Great Lakes
Publication Type: News 05/01/2023
Fire
The Great Lakes fire remains at 32,400 acres with containment up to 45%. Another round of rainfall forecast Sunday will kept fire activity suppressed. A longer period of drying beginning Monday may lead to some increase in fire activity. Due to deep organic material within the fire area, there remains the need for sustained efforts to ensure
active burning does not reoccur.
Smoke
With reduced fire activity, any minor smoke will remain confined to isolated smoldering, primarily along and within the fire perimeter in proximity to Croatan National Forest.
Roadway Visibility
The combination of areas of morning fog and some localized smoke can lead to sudden visibility reductions, particularly along HWY 17 from Maysville to the HWY 70 juncture, as well as minor roads adjacent to this area, including Island Creek RD, County Line RD, and Brices Creek RD.
