Smoke
Air quality will remain an issue in Central Oregon today as weather conditions continue to be conducive to smoke production from local fires. Additionally, smoke is being transported into the southern part of region from fires in California. Smoke levels will be highest at locations close to the most active fires. UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS conditions are expected from Mitchell to Spray to Monument. MODERATE conditions are expected for locations in the northern part of the region, as northerly winds bring in cleaner air. Similar conditions are expected to prevail over the region Saturday.
