Smoke
This morning, there is a strong inversion, holding heavy smoke in place in Burns, Seneca, and John Day. Winds are expected to be from the northwest in the morning, turning more westerly throughout the day. Winds may be gusty at times this afternoon, leading to greater smoke impacts in areas east of active fires. Burns and Seneca are expected to have VERY UNHEALTHY air quality overall, and John Day is expected to have UNHEALTHY conditions due to the inversion and smoke from multiple fires. Once the inversion breaks down, smoke will mix up and out, leading to slightly better conditions in these areas. Due to their proximity to active fires, Monument is expected to have VERY UNHEALTHY conditions and Spray is expected to have UNHEALTHY conditions. UNHEALTHY conditions are expected in Heppner, where smoke from multiple fires is expected to move in.
