Durkee Fire, Cow Valley Fire
Publication Type: News - 07/28/2024 - 11:12
Today is expected to be relatively similar to yesterday. There is widespread smoke and haze this morning, and an inversion is in place. The inversion is deep, and isn’t expected to break down until this afternoon. So, smoke is expected to remain in Burns, John Day, Drewsey, and Seneca. Once the inversion breaks down, air quality should improve slightly. With the inversion comes cooler temperatures and more stable conditions, which have helped to moderate fire behavior. Elsewhere, west to northwest winds should keep areas such as Prineville, Pendleton, Heppner, and Baker City mostly clear of smoke. If fire activity increases, this may change.
An Air Quality Alert has been issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for Harney, Grant, Wheeler, Baker, and Malheur Counties.
A Spanish translation will be available with the next hour on the Fire and Smoke website.
