Some increase in smoke today in North and Central Idaho

Smoke will increase across North and Central Idaho today. Light to moderate smoke will be widespread across North Idaho, with heavier smoke near wildfires and in parts of the Panhandle and north-central Idaho. Light to moderate smoke will also reach the Central and West Central Mountains. South and East Idaho will stay mostly clear, but some smoke and haze may reach southwest Idaho and the Snake River Plain.

Overnight into Tuesday morning, smoke will settle into valleys and low areas across North and Central Idaho. Moderate smoke is expected in some areas, with heavier smoke near wildfires. Some smoke and haze may spread farther south. Winds and daytime mixing Tuesday will improve conditions, but light to moderate smoke will remain across much of North and Central Idaho.
