An Air Quality Alert has been issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for Harney, Grant, Wheeler, Baker, and Malheur Counties.
Fire
There are multiple fires affecting the forecast area. For more information on these incidents, please visit Inciweb.
Smoke
Winds are expected to be from the northwest in the morning, turning more westerly throughout the day. Winds may be gusty at times in the afternoon, leading to more smoke impacts in areas east of active fires. Due to their proximity to fires, Monument is expected to have VERY UNHEALTHY conditions. For Burns, John Day, and Seneca, there is an inversion in place like yesterday, but, it is weaker and expected to break down earlier. UNHEALTHY air quality is expected in those areas overall. Air quality will improve after the inversion breaks down in the afternoon until smoke settles back in at night. Spray is expected to have UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS conditions, with air quality improving during the day as winds transport smoke away from the area.
