Yesterday:
The onset of cooler and wetter weather reduced emissions and overall
smoke impacts in and adjacent to the fire area. Rain fell for 3 to 4 hours on
the fire where 0.5 to 0.8 inches were metered at area RAWS. Regardless, hazy
conditions were noted in the Reno and Truckee areas and impacts were measured
as good to moderate, and unhealthy readings were measured in Pollock Pines
early yesterday.
Today: Good overnight
humidity, cool temps and a chance of more rain showers with a chance of
thunderstorms to continue to aid in the suppression efforts and reduce
emissions. Most impacts should be local to the fire area. W to SW winds will
serve to mix and scour any pooling smoke. Smoke concentrations will be highest
in mountain canyons in the morning and disperse to the east in the afternoon
hours.
