**Silver King Fire Smoke Report - July 14, 2024**
Special Statement
RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 9 PM MDT SUNDAY FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS
Fire
The Silver King fire has consumed 17,542 acres with a growth of 797 acres on Saturday. Active fire behavior with short crown runs, running and creeping. Containment is now 7%.
Smoke
Transport winds will continue to be SW today which will result in areas south of the fire having improved air quality while communities to the north will continue to have decreased air quality. Convection this afternoon could produce outflow winds in any direction resulting in a rapid increase of smoke to USG AQ or higher levels for several hours in nearby valleys. Westerly downslope winds are possible tonight which could push AQ in Marysvale to VERY UNHEALTHY or worse. Smoke from other nearby fires may also adversely impact AQ in the general area.
Actions to take
Continue to limit your smoke exposure during periods of high smoke smoke concentration by staying indoors with windows closed and air conditioning on, if possible.
