Patchy smoke and haze continues

Air quality remains in the Good to Moderate range, despite patchy smoke and haze across most of the state. Smoke continues to enter the state from our Oregon, Washington, and northern California.

There aren't many changes from yesterday's forecast - smoke and haze clearing a bit during the day and potentially getting trapped under surface inversions when overnight temperatures drop.
