Smoke
Reduced fire activity from fires over central Oregon has led to mostly MODERATE air quality in the region in recent days. The smokiest conditions today are expected in the early afternoon when smoke from nearby fires mixes down from just above the surface. The forecast is for MODERATE conditions over most of the region on Sunday, with the exception of Spray and Monument, where UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS smoke levels are expected, especially this morning and into the afternoon. Air quality is expected to improve slightly on Monday as cooler temperatures and stronger surface winds move into the region.
