White River and Irving Peak Fires Smoke Outlook August 27, 2022
White River (& Irving Peak)
Publication Type: News 08/27/2022
Fire: The White River and Irving Peak Fires are burning in the White River and Little Wenatchee drainages upstream from Lake Wenatchee. They have burned a total of 2,522 acres and are
each 1% contained. Fire progression has mostly been by backing down steep slopes along with spreading across the slopes. Clouds, lower temperatures and higher humidity will combine today to decrease fire activity.
Smoke: Gusty W-NW winds will disperse any smoke during the day, with little to no impact on communities. As winds decrease in the evening smoke will move down the river drainages. Highest concentrations will be in the Lake Wenatchee area, but some may move down to the towns on the Wenatchee River by Sunday.
Health and Safety: Potential for smoke to increase after the weekend means today is an excellent day to air out your home and complete work outdoors while air quality remains GOOD.
