Expect any smoke impacts today to be light or of short duration.

Smoke impacts today will be across southwest Idaho and north to around the 44^th parallel. Expect impacts at the surface to be light, as most of the smoke is being transported into the region from fires burning in central California and Nevada. This will provide for decreased visibility aloft. Local impacts on a shorter duration should be expected in the vicinity of Garden Valley as well as the Northern Magic Valley due to local fires in those areas. AQI forecasts are not expected to be affected on a 24hr level in those spots, but be aware of short temporal impacts.

This image shows possible smoke being advected from central California and Nevada and into southwestern Idaho. A locally high concentration in the vicinity of Garden Valley is suggested.
