More Smoke Likely

There will be widespread haze throughout the day today, particularly over eastern Idaho and the Panhandle with high impacts in and around the border of Idaho and British Columbia, Canada. This evening, expect smoke to drain into the Treasure Valley, Middle Snake River Plain, and within the Purcell Trench across the Panhandle. Southwest winds aloft will continue to bring smoke into Idaho from fires burning in Oregon and California. Weather today is likely to increase current fire activity and smoke. 
The image below shows that smoke is forecast to move in from the west and south into southwestern Idaho and central Idaho today.  This represents the smoke forecast at the altitude of 6000 ft above ground level.
