Blue skies visible!

Light smoke will remain across North and parts of Central Idaho today, especially in the Panhandle and near active wildfires. South and East Idaho should stay mostly clear.

Smoke will settle into valleys overnight, with some improvement Tuesday as winds increase. The highest AQI levels are expected in North Idaho, parts of Central Idaho, and near active wildfires, with some areas possibly reaching UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS levels.
