Smoke Outlook for Blue 2 Fire Now Available 05-30-2024
Blue 2 Fire
Publication Type: Announcement - 05/30/2024 - 08:29
The smoke outlook for the Blue 2 Fire is now available at Airfire.gov: https://outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net/outlook/es/430b2c05
Fire
Yesterday's push of moisture from the east stuck around for good part of the day and fire activity was moderated by it. Today, we are back to very dry air and southwest winds. We could see an uptick in activity and a bit more smoke, primarily from smoldering fuels and creeping within the fire perimeter. For more detailed fire information see: Blue 2 Fire on Inciweb. As always, stay alert to changing conditions.
Smoke
Fire activity was moderate yesterday, and much of the smoke that had been lingering around areas closest to the fire was cleared out. Areas that had been experiencing periods of heavy smoke, such as Bonito and Capitan, can expect GOOD air quality for most of the day. There is the potential for periods of light smoke this evening and overnight, but overall conditions should be much improved. Carrizozo will continue to enjoy GOOD air quality, but could also experience brief periods of light smoke in the evening. No smoke is expected for Ruidoso and Roswell. But remember: if you see smoke and you smell smoke, you are breathing smoke, so take care of yourself!
