More moisture expected today

GOOD to MODERATE air quality expected for most of Idaho today. If you're near fires in the Central Mountains or North Idaho, you may experience brief periods of UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS.

Most areas of the state will see limited clearing of light smoke and haze this afternoon before returning this evening. As temperatures decrease tonight, lingering smoke and haze across Idaho will become trapped under surface temperature inversions and settle in valleys and low-lying areas which will raise local AQI levels until the inversions break tomorrow morning.

NOAA GOES-West GeoColor (true color) visible satellite image captured at 15:16 UTC (9:16 a.m. MDT) on 12 September 2025 shows light smoke and haze visible at the surface over North Idaho. Thick smoke is visible emanating from fires in Washington. Clouds are seen over the Central Mountains, Clearwater Basin, and the Treasure Valley.
