The smoke outlook for the Blue 2 Fire is now available at Airfire.gov. https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/430b2c05?

A brief change in wind direction overnight, pushed some smoke west, back onto the fire itself. Bonito and Capitan cleared overnight, but will come back to periods of heavy smoke this afternoon as dry conditions and southwest winds return. Carrizozo will maintain overall GOOD air quality, but there is a potential for brief periods of light smoke this evening. Predominate southwest winds should keep smoke north of Ruidoso and hazy conditions this morning should clear by the afternoon. No smoke is expected as far east as Roswell, but the area could see some light haze in the skies in the coming days.
