Smoke and Haze


Smoke impacts today are expected to remain over south-central Idaho primarily due to local and regional fires. West-Northwest winds will bring smoke primarily from Washington, southern BC, and Oregon into Idaho. Due to light transport winds, any smoke that is lofted will likely again settle into the area with the setting sun. There will be widespread haze throughout the day, particularly over southern Idaho, the Central Idaho Mountains, and the Panhandle due to regional transport of smoke. This evening, expect smoke to drain into the Treasure Valley, Upper Snake River Plain, and the Panhandle.

This model is suggesting localized smoke impacts in the vicinity of Carey with regional transport bringing widespread hazy conditions.
