Smoke

Smoke in localized areas near the fires and on roads adjacent to them. If there is active fire behavior with fire progression, or new starts, there could be high levels of smoke for short durations in the vicinity of the fire. There is a chance for thunderstorms with gusty and erratic winds that could move smoke in any direction and disperse it. Smoke from the Tiger Island Fire will be most apparent in the Merryville area. Smoke from Elizabeth and Hwy. 113 fires will be heaviest in the Pitkin area. Smoke from the Lions Camp Rd Fire may move across Vernon Lake and toward the Sabine River. All four fires are projected to produce low levels of smoke. Expect increased smoke at Lake Charles with E winds due to a new start ESE of town. Smoke should decrease after sea breezes start. Lafayette and Leesville should have less smoke with the ENE winds. The ENE winds will transport smoke from the Hwy. 113 and Elizabeth fires to DeRidder but have minimal impact.
