Light to moderate smoke continues across much of Idaho

Light to moderate smoke is expected across much of North Idaho, with heavier smoke near wildfires and in parts of the Panhandle and north-central Idaho. Smoke will also reach the Central and West Central Mountains. South Idaho will see light smoke and haze, with some areas of light to moderate smoke in the Owyhee Mountains. East Idaho should see less smoke.

Overnight into Wednesday, smoke will settle into valleys and low areas in North Idaho and portions of the Central Mountains and Southwest Idaho. Areas near wildfires may see heavier smoke. Wednesday’s winds should help clear some smoke, but North and Central Idaho will continue to see light to moderate smoke.

The highest AQI levels are expected in North and Central Idaho and near wildfires. Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups air quality is possible. South and East Idaho should be less affected. Stronger winds Wednesday into Thursday should improve conditions, but smoke may remain near wildfires.


RRFS Near Surface Smoke initialized 06Z (12 a.m. MDT) 25 August 2026 and valid at 6 p.m. MDT 25 August 2026
