Some smoke clearing in the north

Air quality forecasts for today are in the Moderate to Unhealthy categories. 

Today, winds will shift to be southwesterly. Smoke levels will dissipate from north to south, clearing as far south as a line running from Baker City, OR, to Missoula, MT, though local smoke impacts will remain widespread south of those areas. Conditions have improved this morning across northern Idaho and should continue to do so throughout the afternoon and evening. Locally high concentrations will reestablish late tonight and early tomorrow morning before windy and active weather begins to clear the state from west to east.

Video: HRRR-Some Near Surface Smoke initialized 12Z (06am MDT) and valid 3pm MDT indicates a clear delineation between improved air quality and deteriorated air quality across Idaho.
