Wildfire Smoke in May??

Can anyone remind us what month it is? It’s true: Unfortunately, wildfire smoke is impacting Idaho and it’s only May!

Numerous fires in Canada (mostly in the province of Alberta, north of Idaho) are creating widespread haze across Idaho as the smoke remains aloft. The monitors in north Idaho are currently elevated due to PM2.5. Air quality is forecast to be in the GOOD to MODERATE category. Smoke is forecast to reach the surface over parts of north Idaho and also over eastern Idaho overnight due to the surface-level northerly winds.
