Lofted and surface smoke on the way

Beginning around 12noon today, lofted smoke enters southern Idaho.  Surface smoke will also enter southern Idaho in the afternoon and looks to expand into the Snake River Plain in the afternoon and evening.  

Regional wildfire smoke looks to increase through the day tomorrow in both density and coverage across Idaho with surface smoke reaching as far north as Idaho County before becoming interspersed north to the Canadian border. Lofted smoke will reach as far north as Kootenai County by 3pm MDT tomorrow with coverage across all of southern Idaho.  Smoke from local fires will continue to produce smoke in those areas.
