Smoke
A cold front will pass through this afternoon, resulting in northwest winds. This shift will lead to greater impacts in areas southeast of active fires. Thunderstorms and gusty winds are possible and can increase smoke in some areas and decrease it in others. In general, given the proximity to active fires, Spray and Monument are expected to have HAZARDOUS conditions. Burns, John Day, and Seneca are expected to have UNHEALTHY air quality. In these areas, air quality will improve during the day and worsen overnight as smoke settles in. The air quality in Ontario and Drewsey is expected to be UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS.
