Special Statement
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
An inversion is in place this morning, leading to UNHEALTHY to VERY UNHEALTHY conditions in Burns, John Day, and Seneca. The inversion will be in place through the
afternoon, so poor air quality is expected to remain, as there is minimal mixing. Once it does breakdown, slight improvements in air quality are expected. Elsewhere, Monument and Spray are expected to continue seeing VERY UNHEALTHY conditions due to their proximity to active fires. With winds from the west to northwest, smoke should largely stay away from areas north and west of fires, where MODERATE conditions are expected overall. If fires become more active, these areas may see more smoke.
Additional Smoke Outlooks
Smoke outlooks for adjacent areas are posted on the Fire and Smoke Map.
