Tuesday Smoke Forecast

A dry and stable southwesterly flow aloft should bring sunshine and warmer temperatures statewide. The threat of thunderstorms is minimal and confined mainly to higher terrain near the Idaho border. 

Good daytime mixing should continue to generally improve air quality across the state, unless existing wildfires become more active or new fires begin producing significant amounts of smoke. Northwesterly low-level winds will continue to send at least some smoke into communities to the south through east of wildfires in SW Oregon. 

Light southwesterly winds are expected across south-central Oregon with light winds across eastern Oregon. Air quality in those regions is not expected to be significantly impacted by wildfire smoke.

The Air Quality in Klamath County for today is expected to be from Low Moderate to High Moderate levels.
