Today’s AQI is forecasted to be in the GOOD to UNHEALTHY range with the highest concentrations in the areas surrounding the Ridge Creek and East fires and the North Idaho counties.
Smoke will pulse in and out of North Idaho today before becoming more concentrated and covering most of the area. It will linger through most of the weekend until the winds shift on Sunday and it begins to drift west. Valley County residents can expect localized smoke and haze from the East fire today before the smoke moves east to the East Central Mountains this afternoon and into the Treasure Valley overnight. The smoke will stick around the Central Mountains for the weekend. Thicker concentrations of smoke from the west central Oregon fires will move into southwestern Idaho this afternoon before a wind shift on Sunday morning will push the smoke westward, providing some clearing on Sunday for south Idaho.
