Smoke Outlook for August 6 & 7, 2023
Bedrock Fire
Publication Type: News 08/06/2023
Special Statement
An Air Quality Advisory is in effect for parts of Deschutes, Lake, and Klamath counties until further notice.
Fire: The Bedrock Fire is estimated at 12,978 total acres and is 5% contained. Fire and smoke behavior were decreased yesterday with higher humidity, cloud cover, and rain in the area. Similar conditions are possible today.
Smoke: A chance of showers in the area again today may lead to fluctuating wind and smoke patterns. Remain alert for changing conditions.
Eugene/Springfield is expected to have GOOD conditions for today. An early lift of the inversion similar to yesterday is expected which will help smoke clear from Oakridge and the Highway 58 corridor by the afternoon. La Pine is likely to experience periods of MODERATE but overall GOOD conditions as well. The McKenzie corridor is likely to experience MODERATE impacts in the afternoon but remain GOOD overall.
Look for a potential increase in smoke for La Pine and Oakridge on Monday with overall MODERATE conditions. As winds become more westerly by midweek look for potential higher smoke impacts for La Pine, Bend and Redmond.
