Look for limited clearing this afternoon

More GOOD to MODERATE air quality today! Areas near fires local to the Central Mountains and North Idaho could experience brief periods of UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS.

Across the state, limited clearing of light smoke and haze this afternoon. North and central Idaho can expect more light to patchy smoke and haze to move back in 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 later in the morning.

NOAA GOES-West GeoColor (true color) visible satellite image captured at 15:26 UTC (9:26 a.m. MDT) on 18 September 2025 shows clouds over California and Nevada slowly drifting north. Smoke and haze is visible over northeastern Washington, along with western Washington.
