An Air Quality Alert remains in place for Curry County until midnight Sunday. Bandon is getting the heaviest smoke impacts as southerly winds funnel smoke directly along HWY 101 from Bandon to Coos Bay. Locations along HWY 101 north of Port Orford to Coos Bay and along HWY 42 from Bandon to Myrtle Point will continue to have degraded air quality until heavy rainfall scours out smoke. Limited fire activity and new smoke production from heavy rains overnight and throughout Monday will bring much needed relief to the area. As this weather system moves out, residual smoke from interior smoldering will impact communities in the immediate vicinity of the fire perimeter and downstream.
