Smoke will meet in the middle over Central Idaho


Smoke impacts today are expected to be greatest over the Panhandle with lesser impacts over south-central and eastern Idaho. There will be a merging of smoke aloft over Central Idaho today as smoke from the north moves to the south and smoke from the south moves north with the prevailing weather. Smoke over the eastern Central Idaho Mountains looks to miss Salmon this afternoon and stay to the south. Smoke may lift in the afternoon but this evening expect it to drain into the drainages of the Middle Salmon, Upper Salmon, Pahsimeroi, and Lemhi into the Upper Snake. The Panhandle will also be heavily impacted this evening with smoke settling within the Purcell Trench down into Spokane.

A swath of clear skies across Central Idaho is bounded by smoky skies to the north and south.
