Horse Gulch Smoke Outlook: 07-14-2024

Horse Gulch Fire
Publication Type: News - 07/14/2024 - 08:00

Smoke

Generally west winds developing during the day will push the majority of smoke east into over the high wilderness areas of the Helena-Lewis and Clark NF. Moderate to periods of Good AQ is expected west of Canyon Ferry Lake toward Helena. Moderate to periods of USG remains possible east of Canyon Ferry Lake and into the higher wilderness eastward and immediately downstream of the fire. After dusk, smoke will settle into local drainages including S-284, Canyon Ferry Lake and perhaps Hwy 12 toward east Helena.

Roadway Visibility

Localized smoke conditions can bring reduced visibility along S-284 to the Canyon Ferry Lake south of the fire overnight and in the early morning.
